Take a step back
Knowing all that's real
Breathe out
Alone again
Drowning in the noise
The slow learner

Distance in fire that surrounds us
There are pyres all around you
Can you see?
Do you see them?

Distance
Leaving
Like the first time I did
Screaming
Like the first time
Doesn't always have to be so black and white
Pull the wool over my eyes one last time
One last time

Take a step back
Letting go the fear
Tonight I am alone again
All I hear is noise
Deafening
Hopelessly
I have no voice

But I'm Screaming
Living in tragedy
And now nothing is how it once seemed

Distance
Leaving
Like the first time I did
Screaming
Like the first time
Doesn't always have to be so black and white
Pull the wool over my eyes one last time
One last time

I will write to you
Through the stars and the clouds
With threads in the air
Trade your dreams with mine
