[Verse 1]
Awakening to the sound
Of spectres in the dark
In sharpened tongues they whisper
Of the way home
A tapestry beyond comprehension
Begging me to be understood
And all the shining lights
They tell me something
Tell me I'm not alone
[PreChorus]
If only you could see it through my eyes
Call it a mirage, a trick of sight
The splendour of stars will take my breath away
I'll pay the cost for all the meddling
Fall into a long and sleepless night
The splendour of stars will take-
[Chorus 1]
Step into the nothing
Strangers in the cold
Tearing the facade right down
Maybe I took the long way out
Maybe I've seen it all
Rusting out the sun
Whatever breaks the mould
Anything to carry on
Maybe I want to save myself
Maybe there's something more
[Breakdown 1]
Curse me
I was never meant to know that prophecy
[Verse 2]
But if only you could leave yourself behind
Recalling a mirage kept deep inside
The splendour of stars will take my breath away
Don't call it loss
Call it a memory
Fall into a long and sleepless night
The splendour of stars will...
[Chorus 2]
Take me through the nothing
Strangers in the cold
Tearing the facade right down
Maybe I took the long way out
Maybe I've seen it all
Rusting out the sun
Whatever breaks the mould
Anything to carry on
Maybe I want to save myself
Maybe there's something more
[Bridge]
Would I erase all
Recollection out of spite
For the path I had to take and redesign?
[Chorus 3]
Step into the nothing
Strangers in the cold
Tearing the facade right down
Maybe I took the long way out
Maybe I've seen it all
Rusting out the sun
Whatever breaks the mould
Anything to carry on
Maybe I want to save myself
Maybe there's something more
