Lyrics
you left me here
what am i supposed to do?
i never dared to look inside
just like you told me to
i'm going into you again
and i know you saw it too
and i will keep myself awake
i know what’s coming
i feel it reaching through
there is no moving past
there is no better place
there is no future point in time
we will not get away

the world is bleeding out
it folds itself in two
behind the background world
is always bleeding through

are you sure this is what you want?
as hard as you try not to see it
