Collect your head, collect yourself, collect your severance What on earth will you tell the wife and kids? You pace the hallway until your paranoia peels off your feet We're only flesh and bone In disbelief you'll see so clearly Burn all your clothes and all your photographs And embrace the concrete You'll never feel it coming I'll see you there On the hinge of your life decision Are we going nowhere til we're gone? Shaking in our great collapse We are the calming collection Just breathe in and out with me Can we escape without the effigies? Penniless isn't worthlessness So just for now spare your tears of your empty pockets
