Irreversible A sequence of events unfolding in reverse A sting better stimulated when revealing tragedy first Reverse perception reversing imperfection Be aware of the darkness that lies beneath the surface of contrived pleasantries Be aware so as to always hold tighter; speak softer There is no failsafe, so now you know There is no failsafe, so cut ties With the dead weight that is dragging you below Pull me closer, when silence consumes you, I'll speak words softer Sinking slower, we stimulate the sting, restrain I'm not giving up, I'm giving in to the touch Of every inch of your sea salt skin But you set me ablaze and spread me out with waves in the ocean With every trace of doubt, black me out Don't stimulate the sting Don't let the wrong choices repeat themselves Don't stimulate the sting of irreversible emptiness Pull me in close, pull me in close It's in the empty spaces that we find ourselves It's in the empty spaces, reaching out and grasping Searching for what we need to find who we are, who we are There is no failsafe It's what keeps me hanging on to what you are to me You're what keeps me hanging on I'm not giving up, I'm giving in, so let's begin again Pull me closer, when silence consumes you, I'll speak words softer Sinking slower, we stimulate the sting, restrain Pulling you closer 'cause after all, you're pulling back farther And we're sinking slower, we stimulate the sting, restrain Don't turn your back on her Let her look you right in the eyes, you coward, oh Don't stimulate the sting Don't let the wrong choices repeat themselves Don't stimulate the sting of irreversible emptiness

It's as if I've fallen with the fall Like leaves from trees, standing short and tall My lungs are frozen from the winter air A stale cold and respiratory flare Crimson scatters near the roots of the last soldier from the summer It's as if the battle happened here and the bodies were buried under A tectonic drift and polar shift would ensure our camouflage It would be as if we never happened, and this place was a mirage We constantly collide with the troposphere We cut straight through like Roman spear Displacing oxygen like a paid assassin Promised to forget because it never happened It's as if I've fallen with the fall Like leaves from trees, standing short and tall Crimson scatters near the roots of the last soldier from the summer It's as if the battle happened here and the bodies were buried under Stimulating consequences rest on my conscience This addiction to the things we do is neither conventional or acknowledged An echo of existence Subsist in our commencement Limitations have escaped us Contrary to accepted thesis A tectonic drift and polar shift would ensure our camouflage It would be as if we never happened, and this place was a mirage We constantly collide with the troposphere We cut straight through like a Roman spear Displacing oxygen like a paid assassin Promised to forget because it never happened Crimson scatters near the roots of the last soldier from the summer It's as if the battle happened here and the bodies were buried under An echo of existence Subsist in our commencement Limitations have escaped us Contrary to accepted thesis An echo of existence Limitations have escaped us An echo of existence

A false moon appeared A mimic or a mirror Like two coins in the sky Covering the eyes of a corpse Lunar dead ringer The world doesn't know we are here And God is indifferent His finger on the sun A needle to the fire A bullet between the eyes Two coins in the sky There's blood inside this void I swallow No one left to breach or follow I'm dreaming inside your head I find the lie that leaves me ruined The earth will close into a pale iris Inside the black is a deeper dark within nothing Acolytes of predetermined cycles Defecting to a lie of free will A needle to the fire A bullet between the eyes of the world Like two coins in the sky There's blood inside this void I swallow No one left to breach or follow I'm dreaming inside your head I find the lie that leaves me ruined Flooding out a secret hollow Inside the well is a deeper hole and it grows I'm dreaming inside your head I find the lie that leaves me ruined Dried souls beseech the bluest void Empty bones seek sinew Return to the dirt Catalyst to chaos Remaining hope is shed I hate the truth Of my capacity for ruin Into nothing Inheriting the chaos of creation from the fire Into nothing I let these thoughts live in me And bring about the end Flooding out a secret hollow Inside the well is a deeper hole There's blood inside this void I swallow No one left to breach or follow I'm dreaming inside your head I find the lie that leaves me ruined Flooding out a secret hollow Inside the well is a deeper hole and it grows I'm dreaming inside your head I find the lie that leaves me ruined (Oh) Two coins in the sky Inside the black is a deeper dark within nothing

Cityscape skeletons taking shape and growing skin Layer and layer is peeled away Exhausted from the repetition of always needing to rebuild Worn down faces in colorful barren places City lights and skylines Guiding home our wandering minds Tucking us into tortoise shells Suppressing the outside sounds of relentless consciousness Where is contemplative terrain That sleeps with the setting sun? This nocturnal apathy binging on shadow and smoke It's endlessly coming undone When the ground falls out Who will take my hand? When things fall apart Who will take my hand? I'd never thought that I could withstand Falling short when I'm a broken man You never knew how much I meant it in love Every night I'm beside you weeks away when you're sleeping alone Did you ever know how much I meant it? (Oh) Millions of tiny pieces looking in on themselves Reflected in the water, unaware of each other Every piece could find its place back in the puzzle What was one is shattered into many and longs to be whole again But nothing ever fits quite the same in the end I'd never thought that I could withstand Falling short when I'm a broken man You never knew how much I meant it in love I'd never thought that I could withstand Falling short when I'm a broken man Every night I'm beside you weeks away when you're sleeping alone Did you ever know how much I meant it? (Oh) Whoa, oh-oh-oh Whoa, oh-oh-oh When the ground falls out (whoa, oh-oh-oh) Who will take my hand? When things fall apart (whoa, oh-oh-oh) Who will take my hand?

Blood starved machine in a feeding frenzy Don't look now, but the floor is collapsing No escape, the plummet is everlasting Sound awake in the bed I've made Pull out the pin, sanity is a grenade Dead and sound awake You could lose yourself in the absence of loss Reset and wander far away Dead and sound awake Ambitions thrown away Spirits washed away You should know Nothing lasts forever Following footprints in circles, going snowblind Exits overgrown inside the maze of my mind Crawling out of the crypt to bleed the living dry In this fantasy, the villains win, the heroes die Slow diving to despair Fuck it, I'm done, this is a waking nightmare Blood starved machine in a feeding frenzy Dead and sound awake You could lose yourself in the absence of loss Reset and wander far away Dead and sound awake Ambitions thrown away Spirits washed away You should know Nothing lasts forever Black moon rising Glimpse of madness Blossom black rose Withered, abandoned (Sorrowed, sleepless, alone) Sleepless nights, hearing voices Faint whispers expand like disease The dead are not dreaming Can't you hear them screaming? Oh This is a waking nightmare Crawling out of the crypt to bleed the living dry In this fantasy, the villains win, the heroes die Slow diving to despair Fuck it, I'm done, this is a waking nightmare

In my hour of need On a sea of gray On my knees, I pray to you Help me find the dawn Of the dying day Won't you light my way? Won't you light my way? Won't you light my way? Won't you light my way? Bullet is a man From time to time, he strays I compare my life to this And to this I relate And I'm willing To listen to your answers And I'm not afraid To tell you I need you today Won't you light my way? Won't you light my way? Won't you light my way? Won't you light my way? So when I'm lost Or I'm tired and depraved Or when my high bullet mind goes astray Won't you light my way? Don't save it for another day Don't save it for another day Hey, don't save it for another day Hey, don't save it for another day Hey, don't save it for another day Hey, don't save it for another day Won't you light my way? Won't you light my way? Won't you light my way? Won't you light my way? Won't you light my way?
