Lyrics (unofficial)
[rev. May 5, 2006]
I wasn't expecting this
Now everything is destroyed
Underneath us are the nothings
Underneath them is a void
Beyond that void there's a place
Where figments from bad dreams are banished
Childhood nightmares all come seeping
And adult logic nearly vanished
Chaos (chaos)
[L](sensing you're high, fall in the flame, faster and down)
[R](dance in desire, fall in the flames, faster and down)
Chaos (chaos)
[L](dance in desire, fall in the flames, faster and down)
[R](sensing you're high, out of the flames, buckle it down)
None of this is what I wanted
I truly asked for what I got
Bang the gavel, it's lawlessness
I can't unravel the knot
Chaos (chaos)
[L](dance in the sea, following flames, buckle it down)
[R](sensing you're high, out of the flame, faster and down)
Chaos (chaos)
[L](sensing that high, falling away)
[R](dance in desire, falling away)
Half this wretched town is starving
While the other half are bloated
Everybody hates the bastards in power
But their pill is sugar coated
Chaos (chaos)
[L](sensing that high, fall in the flame, fasten it down)
[R](dance in desire, fall in the breeze, flatten it down)
Chaos (chaos)
[L](dance in the sea, following flames, faster and down)
[R](sensing that high, out of the flame, flatten it down)
I didn't need any of this
I feel anxiety in my neck
The consequences now apparent
Feeding back unchecked
Incessant loop in spiral coils
Fingers underneath the skin
Adrenaline is not my mistress
But she always knows just where I've been
Chaos (chaos)
[L](dance in desire, fall in the flames, faster and down)
[R](sensing that high, out of the flame, flatten it down)
Chaos (chaos)
[L](sensing that high, falling away)
[R](dance in the sea, floating away)
