Feedback

(verse)
with the words that she said
a weight landed on him
so heavy like a ton of lead
so he packed up his bags
called up his dad 
and then up, up, away he went

there came a time
when she drank some old wine
and fell into a hole in her mind
and as she look around
and wandered about
she found there was no way to get out

(bridge)
living is easy when everything's going as planned
but what when you find that your life's just a line in the sand
there's no school that taught us what to do when things end up this way
so whether it was breakdown or breakthrough i'm sure i cant say

(verse)
the trains getting tired 
it was starting to cough
and all the people on board
are just dying to get off
and the scenery's not slowing
they missed their last stop

(chorus)
so if you need a break 
go ahead and take it
there's too much at stake
to just try and fake it through
our lives are in session
and have been decided
by somebody else until now.
and they'll work you to death
till you breakthrough or breakdown

(verse)
the feedback was screaming
it was out of control
so the guitarist unplugged
to go search for his soul
all the records and labels 
fell down at his feet
to find somebody else to control

(bridge)
well the mic tests
at sound check 
are screaming in protest
and everyone hears 
what none want to notice
that the sound is changing 
in spite of the band
so either get on
or get off the microphone stand

(chorus again)

check your head
your not dead
you're just not believing
that the best things in life
were made for receiving
but the verdicts not out
cause the jury got hung up
while reading the sunday funnies
that we could do for love
what were doing for money

so if you need a break
go ahead and take it
and just lie down in the wake
of all that we made it through
so the story unfolds
how its never been told
and yet somehow we always knew
that we had to breakdown
before we could breakthrough
