Hold me closer I am fading Distant echoes Temporary blood and bones Only dreams will live to tell In another world I am hiding Hiding the light inside me In another world You're the only one Who sees me when I'm Light is heavy Slip into a sea of shadows Allegory in the stars Calls me to the other side In another world I am hiding Hiding the light inside me In another world You're the only one Who sees me when I'm Out of body Gone beyond the wounded ocean Floating freely Liberated from emotion Out of nowhere Gone beyond the blind devotion Flowing meaning Liberated from a notion I'm alive if only in your mind

Change me If you're to know Always there with you So lonely, breaking away Change me If you're to know Always there with you So lonely, breaking away Help me Always there with you

And one by one Dissolving into dark Those distant lights Feel different now they're gone Change me Until Until the sea Once I'm falling in That holding blue Until Until the sea Is watching me Take me Until Until the sea Once I'm falling in That holding blue Until Until the sea Those woven trees Their branches pierce the air Those rising sounds Feel different now I'm there Take me Until Until the sea Now I'm falling in The reaching blue Until Until the sea Is taking me Change me Change me Take me down Change me Change me Until the sea Is watching

When the howling begins do you hear it as a warning, or as reassurance? When the knocking at the door finally starts - do you welcome it? These brief recitals as signaling lights, brighter than ever, they show what time has taken. The house where we grew up, the sunlight through her fingers, the face of a mother. This dream.... The howling ends, and only now it falls into place.

Pull the blinds and I'll be quiet Sit in silence to be reminded How I wanted to be more How I wanted to be seen Never wanted to be free How I wanted to be more How I wanted to be seen Now I know all I've had 3 days ago you told me Time moves too slow on your knees 3 days ago you told me Time moves too slow on your knees 3 days ago you told me Time moves too slow when you leave 3 days ago you told me Time moves too slow when you leave How I wanted to be more How I wanted to be seen Never wanted to be free How I wanted to be more How I wanted to be seen Now I know all I've had I let it sleep in my home I watched it grow I felt it seep through my bones But I couldn't let go I didn't know I didn't know It took control and I kept on sinking slowly 3 days ago you told me Time moves too slow on your knees 3 days ago you told me Time moves too slow when you leave How I wanted to be more How I wanted to be seen Never wanted to be free How I wanted to be more How I wanted to be seen Now I know all I've had How I wanted to be more How I wanted to be seen Never wanted to be free How I wanted to be more How I wanted to be seen Now I know all I've had Time moves too slow

Breathe in Dream out Lost in this breath, your colour Your colour drains My exhalation slows Reach for this breath, my colour My colour grows Will you see me See me if I show A drained faded hue Will you see me Still see me when I glow Breathe in Dream out These fading lungs Lost in this breath, your colour Your colour drains Now I'm too vibrant Will you see me See me if I show A drained faded hue Will you see me Still see me when I glow Will you see me See me if I show A drained faded hue Will you see me Still see me when I glow Drained, faded hue Will you see me See me if I show I'm drained because of you Am I still me My inhalation slows My inhalation slows My inhalation slows My inhalation slows
