[Verse 1]
You laid all your feelings down
Like worn and guilty knives
But I cleared out that filthy mess
That lived between our words
And painted us apart

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But we're the same for what we’ve done

[Chorus 1]
I was a simple process
Suddenly cold and honest
A system of dissipating truths
And you were a swerving labyrinth
Always awake but absent
A ceiling of smokeless flame

[Verse 2]
Dawn took us for sightless fools
As if it needed to
But it's really all the same

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I thought change was just a name
[Bridge]
We were just soldiers serving time
And tracing out our entire lives

[Chorus 2]
And I was afraid of progress
As though it would cave in on us
A feeble and desecrated house
And we took the past for granted
As though we could understand it
But we'd never been so lost

[Chorus 1]
I was a simple process
Suddenly cold and honest
A system of dissipating truths
And you were a swerving labyrinth
Always awake but absent
A ceiling of smokeless flame
