[Verse 1]
A boy was killed in the arcade
The ice cream spilled down on the blade
A thousand lights starting to fade, down where he played
A girl got lost in the old mall
Her coat was found out by the wall
A thousand ghosts starting to crawl
Easing her fall (Ah)

[Chorus]
Hey, I don't know how we got so far down here
I don't know how the silence broke our ears
I don't know how we got so far down here
Choking slowly, I don't know how we got here

[Verse 2]
A birthday card flew into space
The red balloons cold and disgraced
A thousand words leaving this place
No one's embraced

[Chorus]
Hey, I don't know how we got so far down here
I don't know how the silence broke our ears
I don't know how we got so far down here
Choking slowly, I don't know how we got here
I don't know how we got so far down here
Choking slowly, far down here
Altered and lonely, I don't know how we got here
