Seconds Songtext
von THEFALLS

What would it take for life to be simple again?

A slave to deprivation
A slave to my own limitations

I have spent my time well suppressing what I am
Difficult to kill a lie that comes so naturally
Life can wait

You′ll find me among smoke and mirrors
Gasping for air in reflections of myself
OH!

The need to be cease to exist
No part to play
My role to fill

You'll find me among smoke and mirrors
Gasping for air in my own reflection

Searching in every direction
Trying to find my way out


In a place where faces are lost
The rain washed mine away
I sat and watched
Away from the others
I carved a new face in stone
Like so many before me

Flesh in stone filled with dust, water and soil
Dust, water and soil
Rebuilding myself from the rubble
Aaaaaaaaah!
Grasping at nothing
Every judging stare
All my useless conversations
All my thoughts

Letting old dreams go for new nightmares
Nightmares
Nightmares
Nightmares
Aaaaaaaaah!

Riding the mare
Holding on for dear life


I keep dreaming of a voice repeating
"Don′t hold your breath (Don't hold your breath)
Open your eyes" (Open your eyes)
"Open your eyes"
"Open your eyes"
"Open your eyes"
