[Verse 1]
They're stealing photographs and mirrors from your room
But still you look for your reflection
And though the streeets collide like fireworks in bloom
Ah, you can't see your dead connections
I wrote a line to keep you satisified
But all you did was draw me circles
I lost my mind, it was hanging from a wire
Old schemes and hopeless dreams
[Chorus]
Such a beautiful surprise, such a beautiful surprise
To find all I held inside was just wasted time
[Verse 2]
Though I may seem to laugh with everybody else
You're just a bad joke of deception
And pristine ornaments are placed upon the shelf
But you just pick out imperfections
I wrote a line to keep you satisified
But all you did was draw me circles
I lost my mind, it was hanging from a wire
Old schemes, broken dreams
[Chorus]
Such a beautiful surprise, such a beautiful surprise
To find all I held inside was just wasted time
Such a beautiful surprise, such a beautiful surprise
To find all I held inside, to find all my innocence died
To find out that look in your eyes was nothing but wasted time
[Outro]
Blood will dissolve, earth will dissolve
Air will dissolve, use will dissolve
Time will dissolve, faith will dissolve
Unease will dissolve, love will dissolve
Sorrow dissolves, beauty dissolves
Rage will dissolve, pain will dissolve
Rule will dissolve, I will dissolve
Sense will dissolve, ends will dissolve
