Despite the Reverence - Sense of Balance

I can't decide where the axis turns
The shadows fall as the cities burn
Looking back for another sign
Watching fates as fates align
Time measured out in the second hand
The monkey crawls before he learns to stand
The creature tries to comprehend
I think its time we turned it down

I watched you go down
I watched your face fall
I thought you had it all

Its just some slime until it learns to speak
Running the back door same night every week
This is how a race advances
Will we get a second change

To bring back romance
A kiss before the dance
A sense of balance

Burn it down, it down, it down

Quit that before I give you a smack cause theres really only one of us
Quit that before I'm taking it back cause you're gonna be the death of us
In my dreams I'm emotionally stunned by the things I can't see
Swat at the air run a comb through my hair cause you know you ain't stoppin me
Sometimes we'd like to believe that we're all that we see but we're skimming the pond
Push through the mesh thats our death and I'll make you confess that its all thats beyond

Now I watched you go down
I saw your face fall
I thought you had it all
Chance to bring back romance
A kiss before the dance
A sense of balance
