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 here



There'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 away



Tell 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 collide



These hands are useless, not even mine

They do not serve me, they lose the line

I have my version of vital signs



Tell 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 collide



Noone 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 day



It brings me to my senses, this poison in my side

The raging heart defenses a turning tide



Seen 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 wait



Is this thing going to kill me

And tear my soul apart

If not, it never will be

The one to break my heart open



You'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 sold



Who'll defy me now

And chase the lightning all to soon

What kind of mercy will you gain

Under the shadow of the moon



The shadow of the moon above



And 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 still



The shadow of the moon above
