See The Flames Begin To Crawl Songtext / Lyric

Its been a long time...



Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!

Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!



I've got pocketfuls of crumpled receipts

Just about enough to start a fire

I'll watch the past just burn away

Put the mic stand through the amplifier

Put the bass down, bass down, one time

Snap the neck now. Drum set, smash it

Kick the kick drum, one time, kicked in

Smashed up, break it, break up



See the flames begin to crawl, upward

Taste the anguish as they fall, unheard



Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!

Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!






I've got notebooks full of misshapen words

I'll never speak them anymore

Ten years from now, you won't know my name

Throw the microphone down on the floor

Put the guitar, guitar, one time

Through the speaker, splintered, broken

Throw the horns down, one time, horns down

Smash them, break them, break up



See the flames begin to crawl, upward

Taste the anguish as they fall, unheard

Hear the record start to skip, unsung

Feel the weight that sunk the ship, so young



The crowds recoil, demand our survival

Fists in the air, mouths caked with saliva

But you are the one, the spark that was spawned

Who picks up the pieces, and passes it on
