This song is the story of a man witnessing the destruction of the world around him. He tries to hold on to what he has, but finds himself questioning what's most important. He begins to take things into his own hands and realizes it's not easy to control the life of himself, or anyone around him.
Lyrics
and only when
the lights shine through the thick water
can we cry (we'll swim through the tears)
and only when
the flames have perished
shall we really fly (pick up your melted wings)
there is no end
when there is no beginning
still you try
when there's no chance of winning
this is the end
my friend
if only we could be
the only ones left (you know i tried to change)
this is the end
my friend
the blood of the angels
is on our hands
the blame is angry
and placed over your head
the burden weighs more
than your shoulders once did (the weight of your world)
and yet we find
a reason
for innocence again
we are only human
and i won't fall asleep again
as long as i know your heart is in my hands
and i won't fall asleep again
as long as i know your life is in my hands
don't look me in the eye anymore
because i don't want your promises
don't hold my hand anymore
we've always been perfect strangers
dont know what this is all for
i don't wanna be here anymore
how i got here
theyve removed the door
so i laugh and slide down the wall again
where i belong
as they said
but this is not where i
want to be
i'm begging you please
right now
i'm so in love with your emptiness
right now
i'm so in love with confidence
right now
i'm so in love with your emptiness
right now
i'm so in love with you
