When the Floor Sweeps Away Lyrics

This was not the way that you planned it

A circle of abuse

Fed up with the words of your hatred

The callous way that you choose

Affirmation, everything is not the way it seems

You deviate from all you say you're part of the machine

Lay low tonight

Stay out of sight

Counting down, don't make a sound

Watch it all go down

Let the pipers play as they lead you astray

Pitiless, cold, can you feel the oppression

Who will take the fall

Fixation on the verge of obsession

Towards the end of it all

Every nation for themselves, it's not the way it seems

You're stuck inside a sinking ship, you're drifting down the stream

Calm down can you feel it coming under your skin (lay low tonight)

It's a riot, not a thing is as it should have been

Lay low tonight

Counting down, don't make a sound

Watch it all go down

Let the pipers play as they lead you astray

Don't you frown, we were bound to go down

Watch it go down in flames

Lay still wide awake as the floor sweeps away

You and me referee, we're no superstars

Watch and learn as we dig for blood minerals

Rattling and rolling like we've always done

Nothing compared to how our elders run

Rushing our lives to see what our plead is

Death, rust and confidence is our trinity

Bitching and moaning about how it could have been

You never did it yourself, to begin with

Lay low tonight

Stay out of sight

Hey yo, can you feel the oppression

A grinding cog of the conveyor belt

Time is simply made up saturation

That'll take us all to hell

Counting down, don't make a sound

Watch it all go down

Let the pipers play as they lead you astray

Don't you frown, we were bound to go down (stop feed me guaranties)

Watch it go down in flames (of negativities)

Lay still wide awake as the floor sweeps away

Ah, ah ah (when the roof falls over me)

Let the pipers play as they lead you astray

Ah, ah ah (and the floor sweeps down my feet)

Lay still wide awake as the floor sweeps away

As the floor sweeps away
