Letra The domino effect Threshold

The domino effect

Be careful what you're looking for
You'll always find an open door
One mistake just leads to more
And you won't get to choose again
An unintended consequence
You become the target
While you're busy taking aim
Destroying all your evidence
Knocking down the pieces
In your never ending game

Here in the afterglow
We'll never let it go
All we can do is know
Nowhere to talk about it
Old fires will always fade
The only constant left is change
As the warhorse rides away
Forced out but we will not forget
The domino effect

Your memory's like oxygen
It's helping you to breathe again
Staving off this pathogen
Painting all your blues away
You override your self-defence
Undermining reason
In your race to hold the flame
With alibis and eloquence
Knocking down the pieces
In your never ending game

Here in the afterglow
We'll never let it go
All we can do is know
Nowhere to talk about it
Old fires will always fade
The only constant left is change
As the warhorse rides away
Forced out but we will not forget
The domino effect

We started out
The victim of a flawed machine
Not sure of much
But sure that we were culpable
And through it all
We thought that we could rule the world
So hard to touch
But nothing is unstoppable
Did things get better now
Did you find forever now

Is it time to put us back in our box
Till all of the fighting stops
'Cos I don't think we're
Ever going to get back out again

All the liars and all the fools
Can light up the latest rules
To burn away our promises and hopes
Like oxygen and watch us fall

So put us back in our box
Till all of the fighting stops
'Cos I don't think we're
Ever going to get back out again

Here in the afterglow
We'll never let it go
All we can do is know
Nowhere to talk about it
Old fires will always fade
The only constant left is change
As the warhorse rides away
Forced out but we will not forget
The domino effect

And through it all
We thought that we could rule the world
The last to know
That we were all just dominoes
