[Verse 1]
It's the common reactor
It's the long way out
It's the stream of a motion blur
That swirls around 'til you drown

[Pre-Chorus]
But I couldn't put it down
No, I couldn't put it down
No, I couldn't put it down

[Verse 2]
It's the colorless picture
In a heart-shaped frame
The silhouette of a doe-eyed girl
Who at one point had a name

[Pre-Chorus]
But I couldn't put it down
No, I couldn't put it down
No, I couldn't put it down

[Chorus]
Let's break the windowpanes
And separate the walls from all the nails
And maybe if we're loud, we'll stay alive
While everybody wants to join the fight
But now it's too late
[Verse 3]
Brush away all the memories
And keep the cries curbside
I'll be ashin' on the images
That have all been caught inside

[Pre-Chorus]
But I couldn't put it down
No, I couldn't put it down
No, I couldn't put it down

[Chorus]
Let's break the windowpanes
And separate the walls from all the nails
And maybe if we're loud, we'll stay alive
While everybody wants to join the fight
But even if we barricade the door
And seal it with the blood found on the floor
We're always gonna cross the finish line
While everybody wants to run and hide
But now it's too late

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Let's break the windowpanes
And separate the walls from all the nails
And maybe if we're loud, we'll stay alive
While everybody wants to join the fight
But even if we barricade the door
And seal it with the blood found on the floor
We're always gonna cross the finish line
While everybody wants to run and hide
But now it's too late
