We fell across the borderline   disintegrate a little bit at a time   nobody there to hear the sound   of what I had smashing into de ground      Yeah, stuck in the middle of you   taking a shot at the truth   but I had no proof   in your eyes      We just pretended not to know   that we were twisting through the cold   The captain's dead at the controls      Nothing to do but to wait around   pick it apart looking down at the clouds   nobody there to see the leaves   burning away, swirling off of the trees      Yeah, you know I wanted to stay   as I was walking away   disappearing in the gray   of my mind      We just pretended not to know   that we were twisting through the cold   The captain's dead at the controls   The captain's dead at the controls
