it starts with one...



and multiplies 'til you can taste the sun

and burnt by the sky you try to take it from

but if it falls there's no place to run

crumbling down

it's so unreal

they're dealing you in to determine your end

and sending you back again to places you've been

and bending your will 'til it breaks you within

and still they fill their eyes

with the twilight through the skylight

and the highlights on a frame of steel

see the brightness of your likeness as i write this

on a pad with the way i feel

head is screaming

am i dreaming?

as it's seeming that you played your part

like you're heartless, take apart this, in the darkness, but i know that



i've tried so hard

and got so far

but in the end, it doesn't even matter

i had to fall

to lose it all

but in the end, it doesn't even matter



i know what's down the line

and what's there is not what ought to be

held back by the battles they fought for me

callin' me to be part of their property

and now i see that i get no chance

i get no break

fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes

and as the tightrope within slowly starts to thin

i can only hope that they close their eyes

to the twilight through the skylight

and the highlights on a frame of steel

see the brightness of your likeness as i write this

on a pad to the way i feel

head is screaming

am i dreaming?

as it's seeming that you played your part

like you're heartless, take apart this, in the darkness, but i know



i've tried so hard

and got so far

but in the end, it doesn't even matter

i had to fall

to lose it all

but in the end, it doesn't even matter
