Schizophrenia Tab

by The Jakes


And now the shades are drawn
                                                         
This dark infesting shadows cross the hall and now they’re gone 

I see this old arcade
                                                      
And rain comes down the gutters to the wood this liquid dawn

So my heart races now
                                                    
These palpitations bust the seams off my laced sequin dress

I see you standing there
                                              
With rosy fingers, damn this life a godless existence

                               
This schizophrenia is taking over me
                             
And we don’t need this now do we Oh 


It never was like this
                                                                          
But still I could not be trusted with your love no not once

We danced the meringue
                                                  
Those golden footsteps signs of our fate in redundancy

But now the past is gone
                                                  
And now I’m messed up beyond any thought or small belief

This fate is choking me
                                             
Like icy water from the depths of that barrier reef

                               
This schizophrenia is taking over me
                             
And we don’t need this now do we
                               
This schizophrenia is taking over me
                             
And we don’t need this now do we

                                     
Talk to the light, you’ll be colored so bright
                                   
Behind the wheel, they stalk over the drill sirens
                              
Open your mouth behind shades of…
                             
Waking in fire and dreaming in…
                                          
Holding the night behind straight corn and papyrus 
                                  
Holding by luscious… Stares that you gave us
                                      
Waiting for strength behind locks in the fire
                                      
Wait for the love that you said would inspire
                                             
Wait for the times that you Said you would cherish
                                               
Wait for the love that you Said that would make it!


                               
This schizophrenia is taking over me
                             
And we don’t need this now do we
                               
This schizophrenia is taking over me
                             
And we don’t need this now do we
