[Verse 1]
The gasoline is mixing with the oxygen in this carousel
The silence is so surreal

I've been misled down empty streets to a heart that never beats
Of a body that I can't keep
And we're blessed with these, these horrors for highways

This city turns, no longer content to just brush shoulders
Have we lost our touch?


[Break]
A light goes on, we throw our blankets aside
It's been hours now and we still know nothing


[Verse 2]
The scars just don't heal the same when we collide

We'd never say that we step to the other side
To keep up from brushing shoulders
When it's collisions we need to remind us that we're alive


[Hook]
I'd never say that you make me sick

But you're turning all the questions to cancers
Someone call in the emergency
And we'll peel back the dressings so we can see

The kind of things that the surgeons see
When the blood-work won't give us the answers
They'll never tell us, because they don't know what's killing us


[Verse 3]
Our hearts at a million miles an hour as we brace for the impact

It makes time stand still
Forcing momentum into a moment, so for a split second, I can see your face
In between all the broken glass hanging like a mobile

This is a picture we'll never quite forget

[Break 2]

The surgeons pick, they pick at my body
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
Hold still while they pick at my body, while they dance all around me

Breathe your anesthetic words, to slow us down
Tear back the skin to find the chase, a pulse back home


[Hook]
