Lyrics
Intro
Hmm
Hmm-hmm
Chorus
It is not the way you speak
It is not my failing heart
But the way the neighbors look
Watching as we fall apart
It is not the things we said
Not the ways we tried to be
It is just the air we breathe
Crushing down on you and me
Verse 1
Narrow halls
Empty stares across the paving stone
Every single standard kills us slowly
Paper thin facades
Pre-Chorus
The pressure builds within the seams
The system broke our dreams
The silence tells the truth
Chorus
It is not the way you speak
It is not my failing heart
But the way the neighbors look
Watching as we fall apart
It is not the things we said
Not the ways we tried to be
It is just the air we breathe
Crushing down on you and me
Verse 2
Stifled ghosts
Trapped inside a pattern we both hate
Rules we never chose
Written by some ancient cold machine
Pre-Chorus
The pressure builds within the seams
The system broke our dreams
The silence tells the truth
Chorus
It is not the way you speak
It is not my failing heart
But the way the neighbors look
Watching as we fall apart
It is not the things we said
Not the ways we tried to be
It is just the air we breathe
Crushing down on you and me
Bridge
They watch
They judge
They wait
Nothing left to save here
Broken by the masses
Washed out with the rain
Chorus
It is not the way you speak
It is not my failing heart
But the way the neighbors look
Watching as we fall apart
It is not the things we said
Not the ways we tried to be
It is just the air we breathe
Crushing down on you and me
