[00:42.410]There stands a door that I was yet to consider
[00:47.217]But the locks are all melting and the colors are convincing me
[00:52.859]Words on the gate reading I’ll make this all go away
[00:58.371]Just walk through me to the silence, that’s the music
[01:02.916]In the valley of nothing where everyone started
[01:07.932]Before life erased you and made you not part of it
[01:13.705]Broke off a piece of what was silent, but eternal
[01:18.250]And then trapped in a body we beg to return to it
[01:24.154]Placed in the depths of an ocean, forgetting
[01:28.673]How we belong at the surface but everyone's swimming
[01:34.133]Towards lights at the bottom reflecting on mirrors
[01:39.200]But I could labor no longer and float towards what everyone
[01:44.973]Fears the eternal that's found in the shallows
[01:49.989]But one day they will realize what I have just figured out
[01:55.370]Here, at the bottom, it's cold and it’s sort of merciless
[02:00.255]But the water gets warmer as you float away from it
[02:05.898]On my way to live the greatest
[02:11.044]Life, not have one, or I’ll just stick around
[02:16.869]And see if it gets better
[02:21.414]This decision lasts forever
[02:26.665]Seeing pictures, filled with envy
[02:31.837]Trying to become who I used to be
[02:37.898]It seems so far from likely
[02:42.364]Smiling he looks nothing like me
[02:47.615]Levers and pulleys and spindles of wire
[02:52.343]My limbs are all frozen and my lungs are on fire
[02:57.829]And here in your arms I feel miles away from you
[03:03.106]Know how it’s strange, but I mean all that I’m saying, oh
[03:08.487]Levers, and pulleys, and spindles of rope
[03:12.823]In that perfect machine that I used to be, something broke
[03:18.335]And then a thought so unnatural that it felt like perfection
[03:23.560]Came and knocked on my door, and in time I just let it in
[03:29.307]Asking me if I had heard of the surface
[03:34.061]Where nothing goes wrong, and where no one can ever hurt you
[03:39.625]And taking my hand it allowed me to breathe
[03:43.961]Said that there’s a way to always feel the way you feel
[03:47.462]When you finally find your way to sleep
[03:49.604]And then it showed me my life
[03:52.242]How it could end, and where it started
[03:54.802]And then it showed me the world but said I'm not a part of it
[04:00.262]But the lonely and the hurting have a place, no one's seen it
[04:05.408]But once I have shown you, you can't ever leave it
[04:10.632]No matter these thoughts, and these words, so inviting
[04:15.726]I can't say goodbye just quite yet I'll keep fighting it
[04:21.369]People who love me would never stop hurting
[04:26.044]From something so simple yet something so permanent
[04:31.974]Gone into the valley where everyone started
[04:36.702]Where smiles are worn by the hopeless and the brokenhearted
[04:42.397]There in the light of the stars dancing quietly
[04:47.413]Spirits at home in the warmth of eternity
[04:52.898]Broken boy who must keep hoping
[04:57.940]Maybe one day he will figure this out
[05:03.713]Or things will heal in time
[05:07.684]This breathing ghost that never died
[05:12.908]These bits and pieces all left over
[05:18.812]From that smiling child I used to be
[05:24.742]I’m cold and terrified
[05:28.608]I know there’s warmth but I can’t find it
