lyrics

Shadows engulf the sights have set
Facing cold streets and deserted doorways
The buildings aren't quite as pretty as they were
Faces are ugly, the niceness blinding
A coldness enclosing, everywhere
See-through eyes, empty face
Soothe me
Sing-song eyes, shallow face
Soothe me

I can hardly see myself holding my nose now
Or wearing those clothes now
And the people who were all my friends
Where did they go now?
Out of this ghost town

At last the fight is set
Never ending force ready to fend helpless
A test of strength in this limited time
Three souls will quest
Three souls will fight
Three souls will not win
I will be
Don't wish for me
Soothe me

Hold my breath and jump
Dreamed alive, dreamed alive
Underneath me is the wreckage of a train from 1876
A hundred years before I was even born
And despite all that which disconnected itself from you
And all that which you are no longer entwined to,
You're alive
You're heart is alive
The heart of time is on your side
The truth is with you
The heart of time is on your side
Hold my breath and count to five
The past is always borrowed time
Your heart is compromised
Your heart is purified
Hold my breath and count to five
The past was always borrowed time
Hold my breath and count to five
Hold my breath in compromise
The truth is on your side
The heart of time is on your side.
