-  x2
 These buildings are dead, I watched as they crumbled around me,
  And things  that I thought were important all fell from my  head.
 I stumbled, fell back, then pretty much stared in amazement,
  Whilst  feeling the long lost caress of a past that's come  back.
 Will you stop me when it's done?
 Verse Chords as above:
 The picture's blurred out, a wishy-washy reflection that's frayed
 At the edges, And burned to a cinder is all I've made out.
 So, just how could you tell? 'Cause I so thought my teary-eyed mask had you
 Fooled for a second but we're dead on our feet in this spell.
 Will you stop me when it's done?  I'm falling apart.
 Falling  apart,  I'm falling apart.
 Falling  apart,  I'm falling apart.
 Falling  apart,  I'm falling apart.
 Falling  apart.
 Is it the windows I've hid  behind covered in  sheets;
 Or songs sung in tongues  about you and  me?
 Old memories sacred  that have faded to  black?
 That hence so far, this feeling  can never grow  back.
 Verse Chords as above (quieter):
 This blueprint worked out to be everything we didn't want,
 From beginning to end all we're left with is signs of self doubt.
 And now we can see; with clear heads, and open eyes.
 Horizons are laced with the poisons of all that can and can't be.
 Will you stop me? Oh. Will you stop me? Oh.
  Please can somebody stop me when I'm done?  I'm falling apart.
 Falling  apart,  I'm falling apart.
 Falling  apart,  I'm falling apart.
 Falling  apart,  I'm falling apart.
 Falling  apart.
 (quiet single strum)
 Falling  apart.
