lyrics

Could you change the perspective, please
Too many close-up views feel like a distraction to me
Retrace your footprints back to some charted trail
Before you lose yourself in trivial details
I know the walk astray

Could you turn on the lights, it's now or never
Navigate this shipwreck into something's close to fair-weather
Absorption lets me stumble
A torch in the dark versus a heart that crumbles

Don't obstruct the doors, please
I only try to be prepared for the case of emergency
The wailing, the noise, the sirens linger on
At least in my head, turn the outlets open
Until the lack of oxygen is gone

When the change of perspective fails
The inner eye's supposed to balance blind man's wail
But what if the inner eye slurs
And the code I receive is nothing but a blur

It doesn't matter if I can see things on the whole
When little sparks can't inflame the soaked coals

These memories are handcuffs to my heart
I simply wish to face them, not to let them tearing me apart
There's no explanation that really fits
The nature of a feeling or feeling used to it
