Collapse Songtext
von Assemblage 23

I′m on the verge of collapse
I'm on the brink of disaster
And I′m far more lost than I want to admit

I'm at the end of my rope
I'm on the edge of a breakdown
And no matter how tightly I hold on, I still slip

[And you′re watching me dieRight in front of your eyesAnd if you turned your back on meI wouldn′t be surprisedThere's no new story to tellIt′s every man for himselfAs brick by brickWe construct our own personal hell]

I'm running out of time
I′m running short of options
And the desperation is chewing me up inside


I've got nowhere to go
I′ve got no one to turn to
Just accelerating, inescapable decline

[And you're watching me dieRight in front of your eyesAnd if you turned your back on meI wouldn't be surprisedThere′s no new story to tellIt′s every man for himselfAs brick by brickWe construct our own personal hell]

I'm suffocating with guilt
Asphyxiating on panic
And I can′t shake off this fear with which I'm bound

I′m buried up to my neck
I'm sinking under the water
And the next wave could be the one that brings me down

[And you′re watching me dieRight in front of your eyesAnd if you turned your back on meI wouldn't be surprisedThere's no new story to tellIt′s every man for himselfAs brick by brickWe construct our own personal hell]
