Breaking Down

We're a riddle in 9 syllables
Black and white and gray all over
She smiles and looks at me
Bathed in waves of static cover
I've got a notion to escape this ocean
I'm tired of crawling through the same old emotions
Refrains of empathy
Distorting throug an 8 bit fog

(Where do we go now?)
Take it all to a new location
(Watch it all fall down)
I'd rather not talk about it just now
We'll build a new philosophy
A brand new version of the same old story
While in reality
We're breaking down

Another try and we're still here baby
Negotiating or complications
She crys and slaps my face
Taunting me for new translations
Maybe I got up on the wrong side of town
Maybe I misstook your up for down
Maybe I should polish your crown

(Where do we go now?)
Take it all to a new location
(Watch it all fall down)
I'd rather not talk about it just now
We'll build a new philosophy
A brand new version of the same old story
While in reality we're breaking down (x3)
