lyrics

Look ahead.
What do you see?
Colors surrounding me.
They fly and they bounce with such personality
but make your point and they cease to be.

There's something in the air.
Visible but barely there.
We're in this together; this chaos; this new despair.
And now it seems, we won't be freed.

Eyes dilate
Concentrate
Receive the spectrum that portrays your fate.
Ones and twos
Reds and blues
You'd better get used to this room.

I'm not the one who's seen the beings in the sky burning and turning their days into nights. Bending the space inside these solid walls, they've pulled me in and let me fall.

Who am I? Why do my thoughts and my desires shine right through the light, but they don't look like my reflection? Days and nights I spent on being what I thought was right, but right or wrong, it doesn't matter when you've lost your fight.

You were there
right by my side.
But we will divide.
They'll part the sea between what was you and I,
but clear is this sea that took me from you,
so your face I'll see and you'll see mine too.

Hold on for now.

I've never seen this place before and it welcomes me with false intentions, interventions.
But believe me, if there's something more, we'll do our best to suffocate its chances, light our matches.

Hold on for now.
