Written on the wall

[Intro] (Instrumental — 8 bars; synth bass and gated chord stabs cold open, no vocal, establishes the groove before the fight begins) [Verse 1] Talking in circles I'm counting the tiles Same conversation In different styles The kitchen between us Two in the morning You're raising your voice now But I'm not listening [Pre-Chorus] I read it in the silence I read it in your hands I read it when you told me You'd never understand [Chorus] IT WAS WRITTEN ON THE WALL! I SAW IT IN YOUR MOUTH! BEFORE THE WORDS CAME OUT! WE WERE TURNING UP THE SOUND! GOING ROUND AND ROUND! IT WAS WRITTEN ON THE WALL! [Post-Chorus] Round and round And round On the wall On the wall Round and round Going round It was written On the wall [Verse 2] You said you were sorry I said it too But sorry was hollow We both always knew The weight of it settling The way things do And I know how this ends now I've always known [Pre-Chorus] I read it in the silence I read it in your hands I read it when you told me You'd never understand [Chorus] IT WAS WRITTEN ON THE WALL! I SAW IT IN YOUR MOUTH! BEFORE THE WORDS CAME OUT! WE WERE TURNING UP THE SOUND! GOING ROUND AND ROUND! IT WAS WRITTEN ON THE WALL! [Post-Chorus] Round and round And round On the wall On the wall [Bridge] AND I SAW IT COMING! BEFORE IT HIT! THE WALL BETWEEN US! WORD! BY! WORD! BIT BY BIT! AND I STAYED FOR THE TURNING! AND I STAYED FOR IT! AND YOU WALKED DOWN THE HALL! AND I WATCHED YOU FALL! AND THE WRITING WAS THERE! ON THE WALL! ON THE WALL! [Final Chorus] IT WAS WRITTEN ON THE WALL! I SAW IT IN YOUR MOUTH! BEFORE THE WORDS CAME OUT! WE WERE TURNING UP THE SOUND! GOING ROUND AND ROUND! WE WERE WRITTEN ON THE WALL! WE WERE WRITTEN! ON THE WALL! [Outro] Round and round And round On the wall (On the wall) (Instrumental decay — gated stabs drop one by one; bass last)
