Lyrics

[Intro: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] This is the final act Please take your seats This is the moment that you've been waiting for This is gonna be a wild ride [Verse 1: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Your telltale heart is beating, unstable minds descend I'm through trying to reach you, I am the emptiness Our love will nevermore attach your soul to mine You don't understand; time is on my side now, baby (Time is on my side) And time is running out (Time now, baby) [Pre-Chorus: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Do not believe in imitations We're falling for the fiction We have to crave a masterpiece beneath the ink There's more than meets the eye [Chorus: Shawn Milke] The end is dawning The sun is setting on a silent mourning Our stars aligning as universes shatter time I'm resisting reality [Post-Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I remember when, my love You could stop time with just a smile Save it for tomorrow, my love I'll regret those words forevermore [Verse 2: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I danced with our accuser, murderer from the start Climbed out of Tartarus for one last night with you You don't understand, we are poetry now, baby (Time is on my side) But time is running out (Time now, baby) [Pre-Chorus: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Do not believe in imitations We're falling for the fiction We have to crave a masterpiece beneath the ink There's more than meets the eye [Chorus: Shawn Milke] The end is dawning The sun is setting on a silent mourning Our stars aligning as universes shatter time I'm resisting reality [Post-Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I remember when, my love You could stop time with just a smile Save it for tomorrow, my love I'll regret those words forevermore The end is dawning (I remember when) The sun is setting on a silent mourning (My love, you could stop with just a smile) Our stars aligning as universes shatter time (Save it for tomorrow, my love I'll regret those words forevermore) The end is dawning The sun is setting on a silent mourning Our stars aligning as universes shatter time [Bridge: Daryl Gall & Shawn Milke] Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror? Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror? Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror? Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror? (I must be dreaming) I drop the knife, turn, and see you [Breakdown: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee & Shane Crump] You can't be me I can't be you Oh my God, where am I? Let me go, let me go Save me from this nightmare Annabel? I can not be lying there [Refrain: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] (Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah) My 'Bel, you know, you're the cause of this? (Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah) If you had not left me (Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah) Then he would not have lost his mind (Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah) If you're seeking forgiveness, you have come to the wrong place [Bridge: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] The compass spins What's that feeling in your stomach, first a flutter, now a shudder Creeping up your spine, and now you know that something's not right Something lurking, something peering, inching closer, inching closer Trying not to think about it, trying not to think about it (It's here) [Outro: Dennis Lee & Melissa Milke] Foregrounds burst to nothing As symmetry explodes The Artist screams, and beauty dies, his canvas rends While his easel burns He's lost everything in but one cruel instant, existence swept away Did man even notice as he was erased? Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror? Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror? Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror?
