Don't blink, I think there's tragedy chasing after me

Finding the perfect moment to take its life

I don't think that I'll have the strength to survive this one

But maybe the means to escape



It's breath is heavy on my shoulder

Hanging on like a cruel passenger

Who won't remove his hand from the wheel



And though I dare not face it

I cannot simply forget it's there



Don't blink, I think there's tragedy chasing after me

Finding the perfect moment to take its life

I don't think that I'll have the strength to survive this one

But maybe the means to escape



Taking in the signs left in wandering arrangements

Across memory and time, a scattered landscape

Underneath it all, I'm dying to find its meaning

Underneath it all, I'm dying to find where its leading



Don't blink, I think there's tragedy chasing after me

Finding the perfect moment to take its life

I don't think that I'll have the strength to survive this one

But maybe the means to escape
