Man takes it all out Thinks he knows That there's not much to know at all And the way he's broken down Make his words hollow scratching memories Man turns back to himself Turning every little thought Into poetry and ice And that's the way that you know me That's the way I break down I break down And when you leave You know all the world stands still And when you cry I lose my will to live again Is that the way, the way you know me? Is that the way I fall apart? Man sitting down Thinks about the inevitability of it all Man breaks his fist on another weeping wall And that's the way, the way you know me That's the way I break down I break down
