[Intro]
(sorrow bringer-sorrow bringer)

[Verse 1]
And we bend and we fold (Fold)
But sure enough, we shape back
The bruised eyes that you hold (Hold)
Have faded from the photograph

[Chorus]
Too fast and too slow (Too slow)
A present from a broken past
And we can hide in our homes (In our homes)
And try to turn the clocks back
But night comes and time slows (Time slows)
It's stopping on a blocked frame
And right there is the black hole (Black hole)
That sucked all her life away

[Bridge]
When I leave, I choke (I choke)
On fumеs from the promenade (From thе promenade)
It's jet fuel and black smoke (Black smoke)
Wrapping over my brain
The ship lifts and I go (And I go)
Hurdled into outer space (Outer space)
The trip ends and I'm home (And I'm home)
Somewhere safe and far away
[Verse 2]
So fight back, and break bones (And break bones)
And show them how their blood tastes (Blood tastes)
We've worn these welts and these bruised souls
And now it's their turn to feel pain

[Chorus]
Too fast and too slow (Too slow)
A present from a broken past
And we can hide in our homes (In our homes)
And try to turn the clocks back
But night comes and time slows (Time slows)
It's stopping on a blocked frame
And right there is the black hole (Black hole)
That sucked all her life away
