lyrics

Inside the babies
are left crying
outside the window's a storm
pull all the bodies
out of the water
let's get back to the norm

This city is falling
this city is burning
its like you'll never learn
I am the whisper in your ear
dead speaker

Hey it is me are you listening
to the things that I say
to the things that I say
Hey it is me I'm an entity
from identities once lost

pick up your feet when you are running
you're going nowhere fast
pick up these pages that I write
cause they are melodies
you'll sing when you are dead

listen to me
listen to me
they will haunt you
when you're sleeping
listen to me
listen to me
they will haunt you
while you're dreaming
(a few more times)

Just 'cause you're breathing doesn't mean you're alive
Just 'cause you're breathing doesn't mean you're alive
