I wish that I could tell you the truth
I've seen it a million times
I stopped painting excuses red
Even if I'm trapped in a rewind
Rewinding right in front of the eye

I ran towards the end of the line
I heard your voice but missed you in time
I followed every end of the signs
But the clock tower bell only struck nine
When the sun sets on this side of my mind
And I thought it was snowing
Only when the ashes fell on the film in my hands
Did I know

There will be a fire when it all unfolds
We should bury the treasure along with all we know
But I couldn't save you
I couldn't make it to you
Trapped in endings I don't want you to know
So long to a bursting wave of blinding lights
But we fought the tides
We fought the tides
Till the river dried
We splash velvet dye in the sky
Standing still in front of the eye
