The light that strikes against itself is hard as stone
A dream too many full of memories not my own
They're only shadows, they'll disappear
Their only destination: anywhere but hereThere's nothing permanent below me and above
For every time it's all too much, it's not enough
We're unconnected, we're unafraid
We only miss each other from miles awayTell me again, am I the same when I'm not there?
Gone in a second, impossible to bear
Hard to remember the way I lived outside
Stronger than friction until our worlds collideThese hands are useless, not even mine
They do not serve me, they lose the line
I have my version of vital signs
But there are complications of a different kindTell me again, am I the same when I'm not there?
One single moment and changed beyond repair
Hard to remember the way I lived outside
Stronger than friction, the balanced will until our worlds collideNoone ever thought about it
Noone had the will to wonder why
Only you refused to die
Now there is no isolation
Keeping the experience at bay
Any time, any dayIt brings me to my senses, this poison in my side
The raging heart defenses a turning tideSeen upon the television screen
'Cross the boundaries of my head
Entertained by the dead
Stayed awake to make the morning
But it came too little and too late
Take your time, I can waitIs this thing going to kill me
And tear my soul apart
If not, it never will be
The one to break my heart openYou're really something good, what's got into you?
This is the consequence of what you've led us to
These views are shaped by thoughts which you have never owned
You take all my opinions, claim them as your own
I don't expect you'll ever let yourself be told
No easy way to say it, you've been bought and soldWho'll defy me now
And chase the lightning all to soon
What kind of mercy will you gain
Under the shadow of the moonThe shadow of the moon aboveAnd when you know what it's about
You'd stand upon a hollow heel
Those empty eyes look in, not out
Seeing the water deep and stillThe shadow of the moon above
