The shining lights Are filling me with numbness As they bathe the night Of this chilly town
Why can't I sleep It's nearly two A.M. And everyone can't keep Their sanity
Oil is now running lower than low And in my heart continuous flames only burn Is my whole world just made up of lies I only ask to feel some peace and ease in return
I feel your neck break by my hands in this twisted dream And a red glow from the sun that covers you completely As I watch as you lay still unable to scream Tears in my eyes are painfully disarming me
*Take me to the core so I can die I'll gladly dive in with my headfirst I wanna fly
As each ray of light surrounds my flight Enveloping my whole body
**Take me to the core so I can die I'll gladly let you push me headfirst And then I'd cry
With all these sins that pollute my soul I'll never see a miracle
I hear the sound Of footsteps running up the stairs To where this crowd is now heaven bound
The run's melting The cloudy skies And burning through The window of glass This afternoon
I watch the sky As it softens with light And as it turns bloody red In the swollen twilight Is the whole world only dead in my eyes 'Cause all I see are pale unconscious souls as they rise
I feel your neck break by my hands in this twisted dream And in the wind I'm smelling a fragrance like spring cherry blossoms My words are spoken by colorless lips that only whisper, desperately trying to scream
Repeat *
All these memories are whitening But I don't think it's frightening
Take me to the core so I can die I'd gladly dive into numbing dreams So full of tenderness It's like my younger years 'Cause sleep comes so breezily and easily
Times ticking by To the beat of my now restless heart And I don't know why The laughs I hear are all fake Like I'm watching a TV Show No matter how I beg The voices won't let go
Allegro, agitate I don't want the ringing that blurs my pain to stop Allegro, agitate I don't want the ringing that blurs my pain to stop
Every soul that is trapped in this broken dream fades away And at midnight, instead of a prince, I get a throbbing nightmare The world that I once loved fades to gray
Why can't I breathe? I'll be born when this world of ours ends Ah!
Repeat **
'Cause I'd be gone without any pain while this world circles 'round the drain
All my anger will be gone with me I won't wonder what the future will be 'Cause by then I'll have found my place as all the gears of my mind combine The perfect world for which I leave I do believe Will still wait for me
