Metric - Speed The Collapse lyrics

All the way from where we came Built a mansion in a day Distant lightning, thunder claps Watch our neighbor's house collapse Looked the other way And then the storm was overhead All the oceans boiled and rivers bled We auctioned off our memories In the absence of a breeze Scatter what remains, Scatter what remains! Pushed away, I'm pulled toward A comedown of revolving doors Every warning we ignored Drifting in from distant shores The wind presents a change of course A second reckoning of sorts We were wasted waiting for A comedown of revolving doors Fate don't fail me now And when the days that followed past In another mansion built to last From our window we could see Only possibilities Down the road and back But, then the storm returned for more In a comedown of revolving doors Auctioned off our memories In the absence of a breeze Scatter what remains, Scatter what remains! Pushed away, I'm pulled toward A comedown of revolving doors Every warning we ignored Drifting in from distant shores The wind presents a change of course A second reckoning of sorts We were wasted waiting for A comedown over revolving doors Fate don't fail me now Fate don't fail me now Fate don't fail me now Fate don't fail me now
