The Past Should Stay Dead

Tailored sheets to fix this dirty bed

For once, this dirt won't come all off

It can't be pushed aside

The wind is blowing through closed doors

With shadows dancing in the hall

Now hit the floor, crawl to the side

We've all made better moves despite the slowing of our feet

For once

Let's leave the dreaming to someone else

Our time has slipped away

We're sinking faster, faster, no more play

Get ready for the catch

I'm at the next step, waiting for a year

And all at once, it leaves you breathless

With next to nothing but open hands

Reach out, hold on tight

I know it hurts, but keep trying

And with your luck

This won't be over quick

Out of the blue, it strikes you

What's left to catch but the fear of letting go?

(The fear of letting go?)

I'm biting down

The stress get harder now

The mood is let down

Let it play for the last time

Take this last second to recline

For once, don't be so weak

Back up the feelings that you claim now

Fall deeper into a world that you can't explain

For once, don't be so weak

I see the mistake and it's you

Don't try another line

I know the truth

And let it save you when nothing else will

I will let it save you when nothing else will

(Let it save you)

The mood is let down

Let it play for the last time

Take this last second to know

We know who does it best

Wind is blowing through closed doors

With shadows dancing in the hall (Hall)

Now hit the floor, crawl to the side

We've all made better moves despite the slowing of our feet

Let hate save you when nothing else will

I know the truth, it won't save you
