My breath collapses with the world around me Shattered reflections and contradiction. My grip is slipping from the sand above And it's a long way down. Fate slips it's fingers around my racing heart Shaking but standing, my consciousness is disbanding. Tell me I'm dreaming, I must be dreaming. This structure's unstable, resting our hope on this unsound foundation. The silence is torture; please tell me I'm not alone That I'm not too far gone and not too far from home. The air in my lungs escapes me and though I have no strength left to stand I will scream your name. Breathless to the distance in the hopes that it will Find your ears and bring me back to you. Breaths from the end, desperate, Screaming your name, just silence Wake me up. My eyes are open, but I swear I'm sleeping Wake me up. I stand alone, so stationary in the space between A blink and a tear My echoes keep me company Please hear me. My voice can't breach this distance between us or so it seems Please here me now 'Cause my voice can't breach this distance

Unsteady
My breath collapses with the world around me Shattered reflections and contradiction. My grip is slipping from the sand above And it's a long way down. Fate slips it's fingers around my racing heart Shaking but standing, my consciousness is disbanding. Tell me I'm dreaming, I must be dreaming. This structure's unstable, resting our hope on this unsound foundation. The silence is torture; please tell me I'm not alone That I'm not too far gone and not too far from home. The air in my lungs escapes me and though I have no strength left to stand I will scream your name. Breathless to the distance in the hopes that it will Find your ears and bring me back to you. Breaths from the end, desperate, Screaming your name, just silence Wake me up. My eyes are open, but I swear I'm sleeping Wake me up. I stand alone, so stationary in the space between A blink and a tear My echoes keep me company Please hear me. My voice can't breach this distance between us or so it seems Please here me now 'Cause my voice can't breach this distance
