lyrics

passed out on a bed built of paper
we awoke to the sound
of it crumpling up
and we were dreaming
of paper cuts and our blood still dripping
torn pages and a stain we're still cleaning up
and we were dreaming of
sanctimony
sanctimony us
we made a life out of metal
we built a frame out of rust
set the tracks set the lights and we're ready
built it up tore it down
now we're loading the truck
it's unsteady
feature film on a bed built of paper
falling through to the floor now it's opening up
and we were dreaming of
sanctimony
sanctimony us
we made a life out of metal
we built a frame out of rust
and the dust will settle
and the crossbeams will rot
and i know what you're thinking
this isn't the plot
we were sleeping
we were dreaming
we were waking
we were dying
passed out on a bed built of paper
we awoke to the sound of it crumpling up
we were dreaming
