Lyrics: Josiah Leming. Deconstructing.

Throw him overboard
And we will turn our heads for you
But were you thinking all this time of what you've put us through?
Our hands around your neck so tight
Opinions dark with blue
So I believed we must be right
He surely won't come through

Darling, we have finally won
All our problems now resolved
Dry your eyes, you'll find enough the love

Going back on our last said
Trying not to hold onto my head
The bricks are pulling down my legs
And arms cannot consent
The air betrays me overhead
My lungs are filling up with sand
And as our dreams are finally read
We find we're closer to the edge

Darling, we will never win
Fall in love, this touch of sin
Their eyes forswore not to rise again

And I will never, I will never see this lonely place again
And I will never, I will never see your lovely face, she said
And I will never, I could never walk this empty way again
And I would never, I could never leave you all alone, she said to me, and then

She disappeared from me
She disappeared from me
She disappeared from me
She disappeared from me

Piece by piece, you deconstruct the puddled sky
Hour by hour, the moon attracts the empty tides
We just sit and stare into each other's eyes

We never thought, no we never, ever thought
We never thought that it would matter what we thought
We never thought, no we never, ever thought
