Declare this an emergencyCome on and spread a sense of urgencyAnd pull us throughAnd pull us throughAnd this is the endThis is the end of the world
It's time we saw a miracleCome on it's time for something biblicalTo pull us throughAnd pull us throughAnd this is the endThis is the end of the world
Proclaim eternal victoryCome on and change the course of historyAnd pull us throughAnd pull us throughAnd this is the endThis is the end of the world

I think I'm drowning, asphyxiatedI wanna break this spell that you've createdYou're something beautiful, a contradictionI wanna play the game, I want the friction
You will be the death of meYeah, you will be the death of me
Bury itI won't let you bury itI won't let you smother itI won't let you murder it
And our time is running outAnd our time is running outYou can't push it undergroundYou can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom, bound and restrictedI tried to give you up but I'm addictedNow that you know I'm trapped, sense of elationYou'd never dream of breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury itI won't let you bury itI won't let you smother itI won't let you murder it
And our time is running outAnd our time is running outYou can't push it undergroundYou can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?Oooooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahOooooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahOooooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you will suck the life out of me
Bury itI won't let you bury itI won't let you smother itI won't let you murder it
And our time is running outAnd our time is running outYou can't push it undergroundYou can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?Oooooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahOooooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahOooooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I won't stand in your wayLet your hatred growAnd she'll scream and she'll shout and she'll prayAnd she had a nameYeah she had a name
I won't hold you backLet your anger riseAnd we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burnNo one will recallNo one will recall
This is the last time I'll abandon youAnd this isThe last time I'll forget youI wish I could
Look to the starsLet hope burn in your eyesAnd we'll love and we'll hate and we'll dieAll to no availAll to no avail
This is the last time I'll abandon you And this isThe last time I'll forget you I wish I could
This is the last timeI'll abandon you And this isThe last time I'll forget you I wish I could I wish I could

Lips are turning blueA kiss that can't renewI only dream of youMy beautiful
Tiptoe to your roomA starlight in the gloomI only dream of youAnd you never knew
Sing for absolutionI will be singingAnd falling from your grace
There's no where left to hideIn no one to confideThe truth burns deep insideAnd will never die
Lips are turning blueA kiss that can't renewI only dream of youMy beautiful
Sing for absolutionI will be singingAnd falling from your grace
Sing for absolutionI will be singingAnd falling from your grace
Our wrongsRemain unrecifiedAnd our soulsWon't be exhumed

I can't remember when it was goodMoments of happiness eludeMaybe I just misunderstood
All of the love we left behindWatching the flash backs intertwineMemories I will never find
So I'll love whatever you becomeAnd forget the reckless things we've doneI think our lives have just begun I think our lives have just begun
And I'll feel my world crumblingI'll feel my life crumblingI'll feel my soul crumbling awayAnd falling awayFalling away with you
Staying awake to chase a dreamTasting the air you're breathing inI hope I won't forget a thing
Promise to hold you close and prayWatching the fantasies decayNothing will ever stay the same
And all of the love we threw awayAnd all of the hopes we've cherished fadeMaking the same mistakes again Making the same mistakes again
And I'll feel my world crumblingI'll feel my life crumblingI'll feel my soul crumbling awayAnd falling awayFalling away with you
All of the love we left behindWatching the flash backs intertwineMemories I will never findMemories I will never find

It's bugging meGrating meAnd twisting me aroundYeah I'm endlesslyCaving inAnd turning inside out
'Cause I want it nowI want it nowGive me your heart and your soulAnd I'm breaking outI'm breaking outLast chance to lose control
Yeah, it's holding meMorphing meAnd forcing me to striveTo be endlesslyCold withinAnd dreaming I'm alive
'Cause I want it nowI want it nowGive me your heart and your soulI'm not breaking downI'm breaking outLast chance to lose control
And I want you nowI want you nowI'll feel my heart implodeAnd I'm breaking outEscaping nowFeeling my faith erode

Don't kid yourself And don't fool yourself This love's too good to last And I'm too old to dream
Don't grow up too fast And don't embrace the past This life's too good to last And I'm too young to care
Don't kid yourself And don't fool yourself This life could be the last And we're too young to see
