Текст песни: New Bones + перевод

I put the breath in your lungs

And I’ll take it back if I want

I’ll pour the water the floods out your trachea

I put the words on your tongue

With one word I say, I’ll take them away

I’ll cut the wires that run through your cranium

Do you believe wonderful things

Are waiting in the shadows to start happening?

I would believe what you believe

If you’d only stop believing in me

I put the fire in the sky

And I’ll make it darker than you’d ever realise

If you think you’ve seen everything, you should open your eyes

I would believe what you believe

If we could agree on a single thing

I would believe what you believe

If you’d only stop believing

If it’s such a miracle then

I’m starting over again.1

I need new bones, I need them.2

If it’s such a miracle then

I’m starting over again

I’ll prove you wrong, I’ll prove it

I put the breath in your lungs

And I’ll take it back if I want

I’ll pour the water the floods out your trachea

I put the words on your tongue

With one word I say, I’ll take them away

I’ll cut the wires that run through your cranium.3

The record doesn’t lie

So what friend could the record be?4

We will all be forgotten at the final beat

When our synapses finally sleep
