about

Even the things that you believed never would, can easily fall to pieces.

lyrics

My lungs contract
Begging to breathe
I close my eyes
But I can never sleep
Timepieces lose seconds
Visions begin to slow
The sights I see begin to blur
This world I cease to know

Waking up, real slow
From a dream I've never had
This nightmare's not
Contained in my head
Will I walk this road alone?
The sky is falling faster than we've known

And as my world comes crashing down
In ashes I find my heart and home
I'm broken, and the wounds?
I cannot be saved
Take me for granted
Just end my pain
Stitch me
Though your efforts are in vain
Just leave me to die
Or catch a cold from the rain

Waking up, real slow
From a dream I've never had
This nightmare's not
Contained in my head
Will I walk this road alone?
The sky is falling faster than we've known

Why is it, the darkest roads
Are the only ones that bring me home?
Is this the monster, I've become?
Or the man I've been, all along?

I'd die to know what it's like
To feel alive
And I'm so sick of being alone
As much as I'd love to end it all
I pray this emptiness carries me home

I took everything inside my heart
And spilt it out, along the shore
Never once did I question the tides
The ocean told me, I should want more

Waking up, real slow
From a dream I've never had
This nightmare's not
Contained in my head
(This nightmare's not contained in my head)
The sky is falling faster than we've known
