I see that our world is over in one day

I see that our world is over in one day

Keep feeling no more will you be seen past it

Keep feeling no more will you be seen past it

"I'll see you again" would be untrue that day

"I'll see you again" would be untrue that day

Cannot be a wish to hold, we've got to hide it

Cannot be a wish to hold, we've got to hide it

I see that our world is over in one day

I see that our world is over in one day

So let us come on

So let us come on

Go on and keep playing sounds until it's over

Go on and keep playing sounds until it's over

Making every tone louder so

Making every tone louder

Surrounded by some shadows and a bit of light

Surrounded by some shadows and a bit of light

I open up my eyes, what's shown, unfamiliar room

I open up my eyes, what's shown, unfamiliar room

"We live in a world without a dark night

"We live in a world without a dark night

And today, the world is endin' life"

And today, the world is endin' life"

On such a day, you were brought into my sight

On such a day, you were brought into my sight

"Do whatever you wanna do"

"Do whatever you wanna do"

Short answer to me's all you left

Short answer to me's all you left

Then wandered off in to

Then wandered off in to

Somewhere, the sound of you was fading afar, and soon

Somewhere, the sound of you was fading afar, and soon

I'm once again alone with me

I'm once again alone with me

Sitting in the cool feel of stagnant air

Sitting in the cool feel of stagnant air

"All is soon let up, all known to be owned, tied up

"All is soon let up, all known to be owned, tied up

Recalling what ensued"

Recalling what ensued"

Oh, what we got could lose all to woe, obtuse and waiting

Oh, what we got could lose all to woe, obtuse and waiting

The life in a cold world, all the retentions

The life in a cold world, all the retentions

And every heartache-woven melody will

And every heartache-woven melody will

End today, so wave goodbye

End today, so wave goodbye

Alone inside his car, he drives along the route

Alone inside his car, he drives along the route

No sign of life, as he enters a city by himself

No sign of life, as he enters a city by himself

He sees that tomorrow, an ending we shall reach

He sees that tomorrow, an ending we shall reach

What will a prayer do?

What will a prayer do?

When will a wish come true?

When will a wish come true?

Don't know what brought in the feeling

Don't know what brought in the feeling

What's got in keeps going, taking form of sound

What's got in keeps going, taking form of sound

Piano notes of tones, a memory filled up in tones

Piano notes of tones, a memory filled up in tones

Following all that I'm feeling

Following all that I'm feeling

And tuning in our set of our breathing

And tuning in our set of our breathing

Stacked and let out our tones

Stacked and let out our tones

So warm and euphoric

So warm and euphoric

And nostalgic to me, ah

And nostalgic to me, ah

And through it all, they keep on flowing through, ah

And through it all, they keep on flowing through, ah

"Once in the past, had all we could take

"Once in the past, had all we could take

Refraining to take out key old clues"

Refraining to take out key old clues"

Can a day lure, a tone got to let us feel old memories

Can a day lure, a tone got to let us feel old memories

Key got soon let up, a silent piano

Key got soon let up, a silent piano

I soon know what leak out, longer let-out of tears

I soon know what leak out, longer let-out of tears

Now let's keep it louder so

Now let's keep it louder so

"All is soon let up, all known to be owned, tied up

"All is soon let up, all known to be owned, tied up

Recalling what ensued"

Recalling what ensued"

Oh, what we got could lose all to woe, obtuse and waiting

Oh, what we got could lose all to woe, obtuse and waiting

The life in a cold world, all the retentions

The life in a cold world, all the retentions

And every heartache-woven melody will

And every heartache-woven melody will
