Breaking Down

Englishman J.


We're a riddle in 9 syllables 
Black and white and gray all over 
She smiles and looks at me 
Bathed in waves of static cover
I've got a notion to escape this ocean
I'm tired of crawling through the same old emotions
Refrains of empathy 
Distorting throug an 8 bit fog

(Where do we go now?) 
Take it all to a new location
(Watch it all fall down) 
I'd rather not talk about it just now
We'll build a new philosophy 
A brand new version of the same old story
While in reality 
We're breaking down 

Another try and we're still here baby 
Negotiating or complications 
She crys and slaps my face 
Taunting me for new translations
Maybe I got up on the wrong side of town
Maybe I misstook your up for down 
Maybe I should polish your crown 

(Where do we go now?) 
Take it all to a new location
(Watch it all fall down) 
I'd rather not talk about it just now
We'll build a new philosophy 
A brand new version of the same old story
While in reality we're breaking down (x3)
