How Long Is The Night? - Original Intro

If we run far away, do you think we will ever die?
We'll throw these books in the fire
Can you stop the train, cause it some delay?
The change machine lied and it's too late to scream

How long is the night? It's never over
The ribbon was tied but the card was never read
The ribbon was crimson, the color of the night

Can you see the handwriting on the walls?
And on the autumn leaves that call, what are we gonna do?
The trees are giving up on us, the needle and the thread
Won't stitch us to the branch and the night never ends

I will never sleep again
(I will never even close my eyes)

If the sun is on its way then we will never die
And we'll follow these tracks to the sight
Now the lungs collapse and the air is getting thin
All breath expired, is too late to heal?

How long is the night?

It's all I ever see anymore but the day was so bright in the pictures
In the photo album that you gave me, it's all I have to live for

I'm falling down and you're not here to break my fall
I shut my eyes when you're around
I hold my breath to kill the sound of your voice
I'm falling down and you're not here to break my fall
