Sister City - Everywhere Else lyrics

You could always die another day Pick a poison or fall fearless on a blade For the honor, some ancient concept of a father More likely never bother, too focused on the fraudulence of summer Some secret you're the only one who found Never considered it's the other way around This is the end This the only new beginning we have left This is just to say I never really understood redemption anyway Hold tight till it breaks Until the blood swells in your fingers Until the static dissipates Hold tight till it breaks You could even last another year Taking bets on when your friends all disappear Play the odds, help them along It's one thing here at the bottom of the city On the top floor sitting where the walls start spinning And another entirely everywhere else Where everyone's been taking care of themselves This is the end This the only new beginning we have left This is just to say I never really meant that “better off” trash anyway So this is it? I studied symmetry for centuries for this? So this is mine? I untethered each and every tie to the treadmill of time If it is done then I am safe I am a swan dive in a lake I am a perfect summer's day Hold tight till it breaks Hold tight till it breaks Hold tight till it breaks This is the end A mess of circumstance and ever ebbing interest And this is how it starts A spark, then smoke as the symphonic sulking falls apart
