[Intro: Mike Hranica]
Ten thousand tons
Somehow gaining mass

[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
It senses the symptoms
Of a life's thread rusting out
It features the dangers
With a mind for pure corrosion

[Refrain: Jeremy DePoyster & Mike Hranica]
You won't say a word
Why won't you look my way?
As we gaze through the window
The ash storm begins to rain

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Hranica]
Iron oxide tells the difference
Patterning what this used to be

[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster & Mike Hranica]
I've got some feelings
Some feelings as of late
Meanwhile the ceiling
Is what I can't shake
What if we don't change?
What if we stay the same?
Then you're the ceiling
The ceiling that I can't shake
[Verse 2: Mike Hranica]
You can see my hands
Reaching out, grasping at the thread
Hear her laughter reverberate
Through the lowest rings of hell

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Hranica]
I'll be gone once you're through with me
I'll be gone once you're through with me

[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster & Mike Hranica]
I've got some feelings
Some feelings as of late
Meanwhile the ceiling
Is what I can't shake
What if we don't change?
What if we stay the same?
Then you're the ceiling
The ceiling that I can't shake

[Post-Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster & Mike Hranica]
The ceiling that I can't shake
The ceiling that I can't shake
(Shake)

[Refrain: Jeremy DePoyster & Mike Hranica]
You won't say a word
Why won't you look my way?
As we gaze through the window
The ash storm begins to rain
You won't say a word
Why won't you look my way?
As we taste the shattered glass
The ash storm begins to rain
[Bridge: Jeremy DePoyster & Mike Hranica]
After all is said and done
Unable to tolerate
You can watch me go under
Brought down by the weight
After all is said and done
Unable to tolerate
You can watch me disappear
Brought down by the weight

[Outro: Mike Hranica]
You should speak up
You should speak up
Let me hear your voice
Let me hear your voice
