Fix Bayonets!

[Verse 1]
I stopped to start and think about
The fire burnin' on the faces of the stars
Illuminating disassembled copin' mechanisms
Catalogues of broken dispositions lyin' heavy and substantial
Pilin' up on the decrepit woolen carpet
It's alright, we can celebrate the evaporating Homo sapien race
That's racing to erase its brief and glorious existence
Lead with blind enthusiasm, soaked in sweat
And smilin' with insanity and broken cigarettes (Fix bayonets)

[Chorus]
We're dissolving in the gutter with the sour rain
And I'm lost in the middle of it all again

[Verse 2]
Patiently ignite the fuse
And sit and wait for everything to detonate
We'll analyze the pain within the expiration date
Everybody wants to forget about every little thing that they hate
Unsynthesized telepathy, a sympathetic symphony
Put another foot in another shoe, please send assistance
As I wander through the black without appropriate schematics
We certainly appreciate the call to all Civilian cadets
Chalk up your hands and hoist the flag (Fix bayonets)

[Chorus]
We're dissolving in the gutter with the sour rain
And I'm lost in the middle of it all again
We're dissolving in the gutter with the sour rain
And I'm lost in the middle of it all again

[Outro]
It was all over
Before it ever began
It was all over
Before it ever began
It was all over
Before it ever began
It was (Weighing us down)
All (Screeching to a halt)
Over (And done without through the exit wound)
Before (It was too little)
It all (It was too late)
Began (We were all on board to fall apart)
