lyrics

You're the shape of dreams to come
You fill my head when I'm undone
"You mean so much to me"
But when I look in your eyes, that is not what I see
Still, you made your way into my heart

"Lover, you should come over
You can put your trust in me"
Her words lay under covers
But why shouldn't I believe?

I'm exiled, can't you see?
Shamelessly thrown at your feet
So subtle were the signs leading to the end
So sudden was the farewell
My eyes were red until the dawn
And every night I hear the sound

Fire reaching for your head
Things don't go as you'd expect
First subtle as the signs to end an illusion
Then suddenly, a farewell
Do you still dream of going away?
Burn all that makes you stay

"You should come over"
A new layer has covered me
Our hearts, they still beat sour
Oh, rush, and get away from me

Is this an unexpected happy ending? Or is it too late?
Back then, well, I was thinking that I knew your ways
Farewell, all hopes and dreams... (am I to blame?)
I can't turn my back again, but I cannot stay

I swallow a thousand lights of a thousand flames
And there's no time for my regrets, I end this game

The words repeating in my head are as clear as rain
"You cannot hurt me when I'm gone, you won't be the same"
These words still ringing in my head are not that tame
"We cannot kill when we're all dead, we'll die the same"
