It's the common reactor It's the long way out It's the stream of a motion blur That swirls around till you drown But I couldn't put it down No, I couldn't put it down No, I couldn't put it down It's the colorless picture In a heart-shaped frame The silhouette of a doe-eyed girl Who at one point had a name But I couldn't put it down No, I couldn't put it down No, I couldn't put 'em down Let's break the window panes And separate the walls from all the nails And maybe if we're loud, we'll stay alive While everybody wants to join the fight But now it's too late Brush away all the memories And keep the cries curbside I'll be ashing on the images That have all been caught inside But I couldn't put it down No, I couldn't put it down No, I couldn't put 'em down Let's break the window panes And separate the walls from all the nails And maybe if we're loud, we'll stay alive While everybody wants to join the fight But even if we barracade the door And seal it with the blood found on the floor We're always going to cross the finish line While everybody wants to run and hide But now it's too late Let's break the window panes And separate the walls from all the nails And maybe if we're loud, we'll stay alive While everybody wants to join the fight But even if we barracade the door And seal it with the blood found on the floor We're always going to cross the finish line While everybody wants to run and hide But now it's too late
