| Okay the song is called collapse, and the correct lyrics are "Collapse" The host of the show comes down to collapse on the ground and the crime scene revisits me this body shut down in Bordeaux and the shores of gold coast on the balcony I search for sleep the future has fallen short when the sun sets north and the clouds fall from the mirrored walls Words speak and choose make sense and lose capsize the tall tale, but always fail words speak and choose, make sense and lose forfeit the tall tale, I always will The host had his mouth sewn shut all in the name of trust when the blood goes thin, he's given in you can spare us the formal toast the drunken anecdotes from this day on... goes on and on... You know when he falls apart he listens in the dark to records turn I'll never learn To set it down you'll set it down you'll set it down | |

| I think I understand the topic of this song, not precisley sure of the meaning. I think the song has alot to do with religeon, and the afterlife. I think the song is about a guy who dies, and he doesnt end up going to the afterlife, and that its all a 'tall tale' that doesnt exist. his body shuts down, hopes of the future in eternal paradise have fallen short, im thinkin the Gold coast is heaven. Im not really sure i cant link alot of the lyrics but this theme seems to make sense too me, it might be on the right topic but something more specific. "Collapse" The host of the show comes down to collapse on the ground and the crime scene revisits me this body shut down in Bordeaux and the shores of gold coast on the balcony I search for sleep the future has fallen short when the sun sets north and the clouds fall from the mirrored walls Words speak and choose make sense and lose capsize the tall tale, but always fail words speak and choose, make sense and lose forfeit the tall tale, I always will The host had his mouth sewn shut all in the name of trust when the blood goes thin, he's given in you can spare us the formal toast the drunken anecdotes from this day on... goes on and on... You know when he falls apart he listens in the dark to records turn I'll never learn To set it down you'll set it down you'll set it down | |

| This song I think, is a very big turn for sparta. Nothing on the CD sounds like it. Listen to it on shrooms! I can't wait for the video either. | |

| Those are just the lyrics to the demo. They changed them majorily for the LP("Wiretap Scars" - Aug. 13th,2002). Those Lyrics aren't correct either... they are: The Host of the show came down Collapsed to the ground and the crime scene revisits me this body shut down in breaudux and the gulf of good hope on the balcony i'll sit and sleep the future has fallen short as the sun sets north and the clouds fall from mirrored walls words we can choose make sense and know capsized, it showed our sail but always fail you set it down (x7) YET, for the LP, they changed the lyric to "The Host had his mouth sewn shut, in the name of trust.." | |
