Why do you linger behind for me
I'll only drag you down
And why does it always seem so bleak
When I try to settle down

Sometimes I sit down and think of life
What am I waiting for
I won't move and I won't breathe
Wait for an open door

I think I'm useless
I feel I'm helpless
I see nonetheless
That I know I must protest

How can I move on with hope
When the only way of giving is letting go

It's above us
It's below us
We're among us
And there's nothing we can do

And I'm running
And you're slowing
But we're breathing
I wish there's something we could do

Now that we've crossed the line
Now that we fall through time
All is revealed
Until the last days come
Until the light's undone
Separate the fields

Now we're stumbling
Now we're crumbling
Fingers numbing
And there's nothing we can do

And we're alone
And we condone it
But without knowing
That there's something we can do

Now that we've crossed the line
Now that we fall through time
All is revealed
Until the last days come
Until the light's undone
Separate the fields

Yeah now that we've crossed the line
Now that we fall through time
All is unveiled
Until the last days come
Until the light's undone
Separate our fields
Our fields

You know I find this all frustrating
And all my time is all worth nothing
Seeing is believing and I don't believe it
But knowing is hopeless and I can't conceive it
But I'll forever know you're on my side

Come and aid me to my meaning
Come and save me from my dreaming
Ease my pain and ease the tension
Please don't leave my mind in suspension
I'll say no more I leave it all to you

Let the winds carry me away
Let the flood drown my soul from flames
Let the rain drench my heart and veins
And let the storms keep within my range

Let this life of illusions
Drift away
