 (Intro)
 (Verse 1)
 Cut the bonds with the moon
 And let the dogs gather
 Burn the gauze in the spoon
 And suck the poison up
 (Bridge)
 And  bleed
 (Verse 2)
 Shut the door to the moon
 And let the birds gather
 Play no more with the fool
 And let the souls wander
 (Bridge)
 And  bleed
 From  the soul
 (Verse 3)
A  slow hurt..  and it breaks  us...
And  so down,
Down,  down and so plain
 So down
 When you play  some more it seems  so
 And my friends  are past this game
 Of breakdowns
 And our friends  that are lost at sea
 Throw down
 And I'll break  the wasted space
 Slow down,  slow down,
 If you don't  slow down,  slow down
 If you don't  slow down,  slow...
 (Interlude)
 Cut the bonds with the moon
 And watch the dogs gather
