[singer A] Administrative failures in the multi-story parking deck Your expensive button-down is stained with transmission fluid We navigated the interstate like a complex diagram But the architecture is refusing to hold the weight Empty stairwells are choking on heavy black smoke Electrical fires are starting in the administrative wing Support beams screaming overhead My lungs filled up with drywall dust Foundations splitting down the middle [transition] [singer B] Every sprinkler head trembling at once Every hallway blinking red The exit signs are stuttering red It is the point of no return Falling apart at the seams The damage is done (The damage is done) Broken fluorescent tubes on the asphalt (The damage is done) [singer A] Safe and sound Burned syllabi across the courtyard This campus is a ghost town of expensive habits Library shelves collapsing inward Blood in the sink beneath the exit lights End of the line for the polite diplomatic approach Hospital hallways return in the heavy white noise Fragments of the apartment we shared by the stadium Collapsing garages bury the remnants of the past [transition] [singer B] Every speaker coughing static now Every floor dropping unevenly (Safe and sound) Point of no return (On a loop) Falling apart at the seams (Dead air) (The machines already know) The damage is done [singer A] The exit signs are stuttering red It is the point of no return Falling apart at the seams The damage is done Broken fluorescent tubes on the asphalt Emergency lights flooding the lobby No return from the subterranean mess The building is physically collapsing now Sprinkler water flooding the wires The damage is done The elevators dropping through the dark No signal left beneath the rubble. [Absolute silence]
