bring on the empty horses 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 a long way down from here fate slips it s fingers around my racing heart shaking but standing my conscious disbanding tell me i m dreaming i must be dreaming tell me i m dreaming chorus can t shake my conscious from this nightmare can t come to terms is this reality is this reality can t find myself in my reflection tell me you re close behind that i will be just fine that i will be just fine this structure s unstable resting our hope on this unsound foundation mark my words 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 chorus can t shake my conscious from this nightmare can t come to terms is this reality is this reality can t find myself in my reflection tell me you re close behind that i will be just fine that i will be just fine my eyes are open but i swear i m sleeping wake me up 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 let s make the earth shake our screams make earthquakes x 2 shake me from this slumber reclaim my pulse and existence before i m lost forever take me far from here
