Lyrics

[Intro: Shawn Milke] I'm having trouble breathing And if I don't think fast, I'm likely to find myself here for good Panic sets in as I start to question Why I see you standing there behind the glass [Verse 1: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Who said that we never would touch the speed of light? So far behind me, understanding Stars become rivers flowing backwards (Oh yeah) When did my heartbeat start to echo? Why are my thoughts now fading Drifting (Yeah), twisting (Yeah) Tearing (Yeah), bleeding? (Yeah) [Pre-Chorus: Shawn & Melissa Milke] Excuse me, are you a maniac? (Ooh) I am, and I'm okay with that Yeah [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] One last night, one final kiss (My moon) Desire begging me not to go (My stars) Goodbye, my everything I'm terrified, I pull you near (My moon) Making sure that you are real (My stars) Open my eyes, it was all a dream Goodbye, my everything [Verse 2: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] An endless maze, a Möbius labyrinth Redemption, exodus, where have you gone And yet, your gaze will not cease to burn into me So far removed, so mockingly, you observe Pariah, hypocrite, I will be free And yet, you will remain [Pre-Chorus: Shawn & Melissa Milke] Excuse me, are you a maniac? (Ooh) I am, and I'm okay with that Yeah [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] One last night, one final kiss (My moon) Desire begging me not to go (My stars) Goodbye, my everything I'm terrified, I pull you near (My moon) Making sure that you are real (My stars) Open my eyes, it was all a dream Goodbye, my everything [Post-Chorus: Shawn Milke] Goodbye, my everything [Refrain: Dennis Lee, Shane Crump & Shawn Milke] No Futile screams go unheard Incarcerated by so many walls No Imprisoned and banished Within a nexus of my own design [Interlude: Shawn Milke] Don't go back (Please) Don't, don't leave me (God) Hide from the world (Kill) Let's not exist (Me) [Bridge: Shawn Milke] Time is mocking me, and now I'm fighting gravity, yeah I'm destroying me, colliding worlds will set you free (Please God, kill me) Time is mocking me, and now I'm fighting gravity, yeah A straight line is not the shortest distance between two points (I'm destroying me) I know that now, but I'm afraid it might be too late (Colliding worlds will set you free) I'm afraid it might be too late I'm afraid it might be too late [Breakdown: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] (Will we come back from this?) Hold my hand, I'm blind (Will we come back from this?) Show me how, I'm lost (My God) It's beautiful Will we come back from this? The portal opens, time is slowing No turning back now, 'Bel [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke] Yeah [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] One last night, one final kiss (My moon) Desire begging me not to go (My stars) Goodbye, my everything I'm terrified, I pull you near (My moon) Making sure that you are real (My stars) Open my eyes, it was all a dream Goodbye, my everything [Post-Chorus: Shawn Milke] Goodbye, my everything [Refrain: Dennis Lee, Shane Crump & Shawn Milke] No Futile screams go unheard Incarcerated by so many walls No Imprisoned and banished Within a nexus of my own design
