lyrics

it's the weight of the sky
that is falling down on you
and you wonder why
no one feels it but they do
it's a subtle reminder
of all that you would do
it's the same old routine
that has somehow become you
on and then off
and then on again
do you remember why we were doing this?
Off and then on
and then off to get on with it
i've been a slave for so long
and i'll keep on running...
it's the walls of this room
that are closing in on you
the bulk never is
quite as good as the preview
just always remember
there's always some bleed through
from the same old routine
that has somehow become you
on and then off
and then on again
do you remember why we were doing this?
Off and then on
and then off to get on with it
i've been a slave for so long
so i'll keep on running
off and then on and then...
it's the rules that they break
that you can't even bend
but you'll always have me there to let you down
it's the problems they solve that you don't know
you have
so come on lets get on with it
it's always the same old trick of the hand
but you've got your empty pockets
to weigh you down
it's the rules that they make
that you don't understand
so come on let's get on with it
every broken heart that we'll never recover from
everything is gone and no one even noticed
it won't be long until everything falls apart
-choruscome
on now let's just get on with it
