Stay for a minute
Let me catch my breath
Let me look at the crumbling pieces
Of the palace I had made.

When did it grow so dark
Why do my lips refuse to make a sound
It is like seasons come and off they go
While I wait for myself to come back around

And the wreck of the year,
Has found a new face
And the wreck of the year
Is my new name


Stay for a minute
Let me reassemble the memories face by face
All my friends were here a minute ago
But now I see no familiar face
Even the reflection in the mirror
Looks at me with eyes askance

When did it get so lonely
I swear I can sometimes hear the bottom of the ocean
Calling out my name
Maybe in its echoes I'll bury myself
And finally feel at home

And the wreck of the year,
Has found a new face
And the wreck of the year
Is my new name


Stay for a minute
I can no longer feel my heart break
And my eyes have grown so used to the darkness
All these ghouls have learnt my name

When did the world twist upside down
Should not it be the way around
Why does light hurt my eyes
When did my friends become ghosts of the past

And the wreck of the year,
Has found a new face
And the wreck of the year
Is my new name


Stay with me
In this dark abyss
We don't have to know each other's name
But I'll hold your hand
Till we are rolling down the same path.
