lyrics

Storm moves in and starts blackening the sky
World illuminated by lightning strikes
With each clap of thunder I wish you were here by my side

Not quite asleep but I'm also not awake
Have this feeling that I just can't seem to shake
Then I see you standing outside in the rain


What's happening here?
Do you want to escape?
Your eyes betray a fear
That it's already too late
And to just disappear
Feels like it would be tempting fate


See you dart away and I risk going outside
Follow as you take off into the night
You turn when you reach the limits of my sight

Our eyes meet while you are picking up the pace
And I watch as twisted torture starts to eat your face
This image will haunt me for the rest of my days


What's happening here?
Just want to escape
Forget this growing fear
That it's already too late
But to just disappear
Feels like it would be tempting fate


Please let this just be a nightmare I'll forget
The moment I wake up in my familiar bed
I don't want this to have to be the end

Because now you've disappeared and I don't think that you'll return
I don't know what I can do but try to burn
Every memory so I don't have to mourn


What's happening here?
It's time to escape
Despite this growing fear
That it's already too late
Have to just disappear
Though it feels like I am tempting fate
