no one ever thought it would be you
to give in, to surrender
nothing left for you to hold on to
this is not like you
others will be watching what you do
vigilants and keepers
have all of your choices made for you
you're not the one I knew
---
run through fire to run from pain
this life is only fiction, it's not too late
the day's not over, there is something more for you
---
tonight I'm drifting off into blank space
with visions in my head
hovering inside a foreign place
then I hear the sound
senses disappear without a trace
darkness swallows light
I don't even recognize your face
I cannot stop you
---
run for cover, deny your doubt
this life is just a prison, there's no way out
the night is falling, there is nothing more for you
---
I lie awake at night, in reverie
a deep contemplation
find my peace in light, this fantasy
this dread fascination

---
under camouflage I wait
for silence
to face the torrid light of day
shutter falls
and what the air conceals inside
is broken
And when the day and night collide
I...
---
wonder what to say, and where to go
to find my perfect space
and what I should have done to make it show
to know...
---
that there's a color in my eyes
that's fading
and in the fever of the night
anguish comes
---
wonder when I lost my way?
virus spreading every day

Fall asleep
on my shoulder
And as you breathe
promise me again
For a while it seems
We can watch it all unfold
And when this moment expires
promise me again
---
ooh promise me
ooh don't disagree
ooh I will believe
ooh testify for me
---
I read your letter
and locked my door
To trap the silence
promise me again
So stay awhile with me
don't cut the line
and I will lie for you
promise me again
---
I can't wait for the days you come
and take it all away
I can't take it the days you're gone
tell me you're here to stay

glimpsing all the signs as he rises
the air is stale, this room seems bigger than before
he caught a glance, a tiny motion
sighing relief, she slipped out the door
the creeping morning light reveals
the other car in the drive is not there anymore
---
and all the words that come to my mind
won't make up for time
---
the fog of twilight only deceiving
the clock's relentless rhythm repeating in his head
silhouettes darken the casement
and mark the hours that lay collecting by the bed
the figures pass, abducting the daylight
under the falling sun the cycle starts again
---
I want to hide away
and forget all the reasons
all the crimes and the breaches
and my disguise prevailing
all your love and your mercy
never knew where to find me
and I'll deny I need you
never care for another
I retreat under cover
---
and though I may not seem to mind
I can't make up for time

---
my eyes, they burn
with calcine love
I'll never stir
while I'm under
the air conceals
a tear within
I need to feel
her porcelain skin
this night is cold
without her glow
can ease my soul
with lead and smoke
---
I... won't live on the run
it has to be done
no... it just isn't fair
why don't you care?
---
I can't exist
in lethargy
they're watching you
if you could see
the time has come
to know your fears
I'll make it right
and disappear
---
there's no one to fight me
but I will tread lightly
all I know is what you told me to
---
I won't live on the run
it has to be done
no, it just isn't fair
why don't you care?
---
lay me down to sleep until daylight comes
lay me down forever still

---
gliding drops on silver thread
silent feed, pictures in my head
I speak a word, watch it fall,
crushing synapses all
spark relights and you're inside
gathering fibers left untied
relapse, a moment in time,
figure fades, melts away
luminous, a memory
lead impelled, puncturing the skin
a shapeless face, in shifting lights,
shadows live, fears collide
---
I can't fight this anymore
but I'm not gonna run away
(help me remember)
come into oblivion
turn the blackest night into day
(show me a flicker)
---
voiceless words, in calm unrest
waters burn, fires effervesce
a sentiment, in caustic light
crumbling as the pain ignites
single hue, amid the black
ebon air gently doubles back
I hear your voice, a melody
haunting line, a remedy
severed cord, hanging near
tendril rise, dying cells cohere
electric shock, a call to rise
impulse comes, a reason why

If I look closer
I can almost see your face
Beneath the surface
I know I should have seen the signs
Nothing can make me change my mind
---
If you let go now
No contentment left for me
But I'll keep talking
Maybe you'll come to understand
Nothing can compromise the plan

there is someone here
is it me? I fear
I can see no past
in the mirror glass
---
blackout in my head
lingering regret
all that I can feel
waking life too real
body, mind erase
final resting place
idle days away
silent as the grave
we abide by faith alone
---
there's another life
in a ray of light
I can feel it near
ringing in my ear
---
feeling faceless in my regret, but
there's a reason to forget
I never knew myself this way
but with or without you I'm here to stay

Tell another lie to me
Until I cannot disagree
Stir the clouds above my head
to grey as all my colors bled, yeah
tempt me not to toe the line
to see my purpose redefined
clear the ash and dust to find
a long-awaited paradise
with you
---
I can wait, I can wait
Because another day without you
is another chance to rise again
---
As the ashes turn to glass
and camoflauge my secret past
Every stone that falls to earth
to time commit my every word, yeah
feeling light wash over me
An ending I can almost see
Hearing saints and angels pray
that I must wait to cross the gates
to a long-awaited paradise
with you
---
on a rainy day in my paradise
sun is shining all around me
if I wish for just one more life to live
may it come true, and
---
I can wait, I can wait
just one more day without you
I can wait, I can wait
Because another day without you
is another chance to rise again
---
Rise above the edge to find
a long-awaited paradise
with you
