[Verse 1]
The 6:15 exhale
Slate grey skies in a plaster veil
Coffee's cold, the screen is bright
Just another pixel in the light
Same cold pavement, same worn soles
Watching fragments of forgotten souls
On the LCD cathedral wall
Waiting for the quiet to call
[Pre-Chorus]
Something's buzzing in my head
An undercurrent flowing dread
The distant hum, a memory
That's pulling it all away from me...
[Chorus]
NEVERMIND THE BROKEN SCREAM!
NEVERMIND THE BROKEN DREAM!
Just give me this one moment's peace
Before the sirens start to cease
I'll drown it all inside the noise
And cling to these forgotten joys
NEVERMIND! NEVERMIND!
[Verse 2]
The news feed bleeds a shades-of-red
For all the living and the dead
Another monument to lies
Beneath a cold and hollow sky
I feel the vibration in the floor
Knocking on a rusted door
My heart beats out of sync with this
Replaced by cold and metal bliss
[Pre-Chorus]
Something's screaming in my head
Replaying every word you said
The frequency is overload
Carry me away from this road...
[Chorus]
NEVERMIND THE BROKEN SCREAM!
NEVERMIND THE BROKEN DREAM!
Just give me this one moment's peace
Before the sirens start to cease
I'll drown it all inside the noise
And cling to these forgotten joys
NEVERMIND! NEVERMIND!
[Bridge / Breakdown]
Is this all? This shallow breath?
A slow-motion dive to certain death?
Or is it just a color?
A VIBRANT HUE!
Pulled from a black and endless view...
Just a flicker...
Just a spark...
Igniting in the coming dark...
[Guitar Solo]
Chorus]
NEVERMIND THE BROKEN SCREAM!
NEVERMIND THE FUCKING DREAM!
Just give me this one moment's peace
Before the sirens start to cease!
I'LL DROWN IT ALL INSIDE THE NOISE!
AND CLING TO THESE DEAD-FLOWERED JOYS!
NEVERMIND! NEVERMIND!
[Outro]
Just let it fade...
Let it all unwind...
Nevermind...
Nevermind...
...the color...
