lyrics

I watch my heart come alive
But I don't trust its wings
As it starts to fly
I point my face at the cold
I let it touch my soul
And I close my eyes
Feel this and let it control
My every move
Most of which
Are bringing something cold and numb
Acidic and inadvisable
to my lips

So used to hiding
Out in the fiction
Inspired by dreams
Awoken by diction
The greyest sky
Leafless trees and
A heavy fog
To hide my treason
Clandestine destiny
A man who's all the best in me
I hope when I run out of time he'll run away and he'll survive
I made this, my perfect world
To shine like ice
And coldly burn

I'm not in love or the prime of my life
I'm not invincible, but I will survive
By my pride and the time in my eyes
By the grace of the world and the face of a girl
This is more than just a message for you
It's a heart to adorn you and a warning for me
No-one's gonna come for me
One day I'll Come Alive but for now I'm Falling Asleep
