lyrics

We take a ride to a place we've never been
You paint your eyes, covered in black and wearing thin
It's no surprise to see the shape that we are in
Our colors run beneath the surface of our skin

You say you're broken, so what if we return
To the time before the fire begins to burn
Like a child watching her life start to unfurl
You draw a picture of the center of the world

Well it's a boy who lost his youth beside a train
And it's a girl who drowned her sorrows down a drain
Sometimes you ask if this just proves that you're insane
Or something else that's just too buried to explain

We take a ride, try to find a place that's new
We shed our skin the way that people sometimes do
But don't you know that we're just moments from the truth
We close our eyes, and draw a picture of the moon

Well it's ok, Alexandra
Cause we were made to be broken and put our pieces back together
But there's beauty in the way we fall apart
So let's just fall and leave the pieces where they are
Let's just fall and leave the pieces where they are

It's ok
It's ok, Alexandra
