Feel the shape shift under my short breath
Fighting loudly just to control it
Head just won’t stop spinning
Fragility of life sinks in
The phone rang the rug out from under
Two feet, complete, unencumbered
Flew between the floorboards
Into water deep with remorse
I don’t wanna break down
Lie to me, lie to me
I don’t wanna break down
Lie to me, yeah, lie to me
Feel the flood leave both of your lungs crushed
Suddenly the ring, it returns
Just louder every moment
I’m frightened by the context
I don’t wanna break down
Lie to me, lie to me
I don’t wanna break down
Lie to me, yeah, lie to me
Spiralling in spades now
Lie to me, lie to me
‘Cause I don’t wanna break down
Lie to me, yeah, lie to me
Can all this heartbreak cease and desist?
Will the water take me away from all of this?
Out past the breaking horizon
Lie to me, yeah, lie to me
I don’t wanna break down
Lie to me, lie to me
I don’t wanna break down
Lie to me, yeah, lie to me
Spiralling in spades now
Lie to me, lie to me
‘Cause I don’t wanna break down
Lie to me, yeah, lie to me
