It’s just a prayer and I’m aware it’s fading, but oh

Where’d my love retreat? I stare out as the curtain

Tears on up high on the stage, so fare thee well

We’ll leave our peace and never meet up again

My tongue is tied, no thoughts on the mind

When every feeling fades out—nothing behind

And all the pressure, pushing’s leavin’ me tired and drained

I tie a muzzle tight to cover my heart

To keep the mind in check, my words under bars

But every corpse-like sound is screaming to break from the chains

I hide my eyes from shame I regret

As all my failures build up blinds in my head

Cause now I’m in too deep, but down to the end I’ll remain

A tired rasp stings straight down a throat I neglect

I try to find a glass, but everything’s wrecked

Without a word, I stare not knowing a thing I should say

Every feeling that I had inside has now all left me out to dry

Sorta the same now, sorta different, sorta sly

I don’t know how far down I’ll make it, or if I can see you out

What, oh, are you thinking as you’re sinking in the darkness now?

If I never get to see you again, if I never come and find you my friend

Then I’ll tie you ever tightly here beside me, never slowing

If you find you have a chance here with me, if you never wanna get up and leave

Then don’t give up on that feeling, the future’s ours for reaching

Soon you’ll see

Peaceful, happy days, for attrition’s paid

In truth it’s all the same

The pain and pleasure both divy the weight

Every sad regret, every panting breath

“Let’s run and break away, this hall’s doomed anyway…”

I whisper in the wistful, warping setting sun

Always the same, it’s always the same wish, every one

I don’t know how to start this journey, or if I’ve forgotten how

What, oh, am I thinking as I’m sinking in the darkness now?

If we’re ever growing sick of this bet, if there’s ever nothing more to be said

Then I’ll free you from the nightmare here beside me, never slowing

So we both can keep a cage on our hearts, so we stop from ever falling apart

Let’s exchange those very pieces, I’ll treasure all their heat

So let’s start

Crying there with you

Laughing after you

Fighting there with you

Singing there with you

Dance a pas de deux

Chatting there with you

Whisper in the wistful, warping setting sun

Always the same, it’s always the same, I can’t go on

So that I never lose your breath upon my nape, I’ll carry on

In the end, I wonder, just how long I’ll have to keep these thoughts

Only us again, if…

If I never get to see you again, if I never come and find you my friend

Then I’ll tie you ever tightly here beside me, never slowing

If you find you have a chance here with me, if you never wanna get up and leave

I’ll make sure this precious feeling, the reason for my being is

Always, always, free and eternal like my never ending love
