The Past Should Stay Dead

Tailored sheets to fix this dirty bed
For once this dirt won't come all off
It can't be pushed aside

Wind is blowing through closed doors with shadows dancing in the hall
Now hit the floor, crawl to the side
We've all made better moves
Despite the slowing of our feet

For once let's leave the dreaming to someone else

Our time has slipped away
We're sinking faster, faster, no more play
Get ready for the catch
I'm at the next step, waiting for a year
And all at once, it leaves you breathless
With next to nothing but open hands

Reach out, hold on tight
I know it hurts but keep trying
And with your luck this won't be over quick
Out of the blue it strikes you
What's left to catch but the fear of letting go?
(The fear of letting go)

I'm biting down
The stress gets harder now
The mood is let down
Let it play for the last time
Take this last second to know

For once don't be so weak
Back up the feelings that you claim now
Fall deeper into a world that you can't explain
For once don't be so weak
I see the mistake and it's you
Don't try another line
I know the truth

And let it save you
When nothing else will
I will let it save you
When nothing else will
(Let it save you)

The mood is let down
Let it play for the last time
Take this last second to know

We know who does it best
Wind is blowing through closed doors with shadows dancing in the hall
Now hit the floor, crawl to the side
We've all made better moves
Despite the slowing of our feet
Let hate save you
When nothing else will

I know the truth
It won't save you
