lyrics

i float back in time, on a mission, to make things right
flee from the dreams that haunt me each an every night
keep a glance on the clock, watch my life in reverse
to dispel this curse, to erase this shock

we run in circles, playing games
too young to care about what this world means
no depressions, no pain and nothing to hide
just the future me that's already inside

fast forward, first thoughts of doubt arrive
"things you shouldn't care about"
watch, while first pieces of happiness deprive
but all you can think about is that one night

emotions you have yet to describe
feel alive for the very first time
you would kill to stay here forever
but time will decline your bribe
this is the biggest of all crimes
nothing will bring you back there, never

emotions you have yet to describe
feel alive for the very first time
you would kill to stay here forever
but time will decline your bribe

you're gonna break the time
you're gonna change your life
you're gonna sleep at night
you're gonna heal the scars
you're gonna break the time
you're gonna change your life
you're gonna sleep at night
you're gonna heal the scars
you're gonna break the time
you're gonna change your life
you're gonna sleep at night
you're gonna heal the scars
you're gonna break the time

the last few days arrive
it still feels like denying gravity
you reach out for the stars
when you realize it's that one night

the glass reaches your mouth
a tingling tongue, numb nerves
that's the time to stop this
close your eyes as the world collapses

eyes wide open, shattered pieces fly by
eyes wide open, eyes wide open

you look into the nothingness of space, the parable of time
there is no way to fix this, back to the monotony of life

eyes wide open, shattered pieces fly by
eyes wide open, eyes wide open

you look into the nothingness of space
this is the parable of time
