The Midnight Collapse

Verse 1

Front left leg just snapped in two

Middle sagging deep and low

Canvas shredding through and through

Cotton flying fast and slow

Pre-Chorus

The rust begins to rattle

The springs begin to hum

Lost the evening battle

Beneath my heavy thumb

Chorus

Timber crashing on the rug

Timber crashing on the rug

Pulled the rug and gave a tug

Timber crashing on the rug

Verse 2

Dusty moths escaping the old frame

Quilts are tangled in a knot

Morning light will find a new name

For the mess that I have got

Pre-Chorus

The rust begins to rattle

The springs begin to hum

Lost the evening battle

Beneath my heavy thumb

Chorus

Timber crashing on the rug

Timber crashing on the rug

Pulled the rug and gave a tug

Timber crashing on the rug

Bridge

Copper wire

Sleepy fire

Hold it higher

Sinking lower than before

Sinking down to meet the floor

I cannot take it anymore

Chorus

Timber crashing on the rug

Timber crashing on the rug

Pulled the rug and gave a tug

Timber crashing on the rug
