the jakes (young the giant) - schizophrenia lyrics

[verse 1]
and now the shades are drawn
these dark infesting shadows cross the hall and now they’re gone
i see this old arcade
and rain falls 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, d-mn this life, a godless existence

[chorus]
this schizophrenia is taking over me
and we don’t need this now, do we!?

[verse 2]
it never was like this
but i can’t ever be trusted with your love, no, not once
we danced the merengue
those golden footsteps signs to our fate in redundancy
but now the past is gone
and i am messed up beyond any thought or small belief
this fate is choking me
like icy water from the depths of that barrier reef

[chorus]
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!?

[bridge]
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 locked 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!

[chorus]
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!?
