And now the shades are drawn
This dark infesting shadows cross the hall and now they're gone
I see this old arcade

And rain comes down the gutters to the wood this liquid dawn

So my heart races now

These palpitations bust the seams off my laced sequin dress
I see you standing there
With rosy fingers, damn this life a godless existence


This schizophrenia is taking over me
And we don't need this now do we!


It never was like this
But still I could not be trusted with your love no not once

We danced the meringue
Those golden footsteps signs of our fate in redundancy


But now the past is gone
And now I'm messed up beyond any thought or small belief
This fate is choking me

Like icy water from the depths of that barrier reef



This schizophrenia is taking over me
And we don't need this now do we!


This schizophrenia is taking over me
And we don't need this now do we!


Talk to the light, you'll be colored so bright
Behind the wheel, they stalk over the drill sirens
Open your mouth behind shades of?

Waking in fire and dreaming in?
Holding the night behind straight corn and papyrus
Holding by luscious?

Stares that you gave us
Waiting for strength behind locks in the fire
Wait for the love that you said would inspire


Wait for the times that you
Said you would cherish

Wait for the love that you
Said that would make it!


This schizophrenia is taking over me
And we don't need this now do we!


This schizophrenia is taking over me
And we don't need this now do we!
