Calamity Falls Quietly
[Verse 1]
Velvet shoes will tap the floor
Lovers dance forevermore
Sing in chorus just because
The Earth is as bright as it ever was
Mother wishes she could choose
Don't let Sally hear the news
We can never let her know
No, it would break her heart
Even if time stops tonight
We can still make one last toast to us
Go on, raise a glass

[Chorus]
Welcome to your party
We saved all the seats for you
We saved all our drinks for you
Why do you stand still?
Welcome to your party
We saved all the seats for you
We saved all our drinks for you
Why are you still here?
[Verse 2]
Every morning that I wake
I want to go to sleep
Aren't you tired of being fake?
You're shallow when you're deep
Every morning that I wake
I want to sleep
Every morning that I wake
I want to sleep
Are you trying to wear me out?
Cause' it's working either way
I'm just waiting for a doubt
Or at least a different day
Every morning that I wake
I want to sleep
Cause' you barely even try
Just join the heap

[Refrain]
And it doesn't even matter
What I am
No it doesn't even matter

[Verse 3]
And I'm always thinking, "Wow
People never want to stay"
What's the point in waiting now
When I'm dying anyway?
When the timer's getting low
I'll pace myself
And you ask: "Where did I go?"
I waste myself
[Refrain]
And it doesn't even matter
What I am
No it doesn't even matter
What I

[Verse 4]
If I'm not everyone, I'm unheard
When I should let go, just give me the word
Why are you crying? You're so absurd
But where is the hope when you know that you're alone?
Oh

[Chorus]
Welcome to your party
We saved all the seats for you
We saved all our drinks for you
Why do you stand still?
Welcome to your party
We saved all the seats for you
We saved all our drinks for you
Why are you still here?
Welcome to your party
Watch it falling quietly
Wait till' it's calamity
Why do you stand still?
Welcome to your party
Blow the candles while it's fun
The apocalypse has just begun
Why are you still here?
[Outro]
And it doesn't even matter
What we are
