Lyrics

We arrive, as unwilling participants
Pacify me, and edit out the parts that don't fit
I could fly, invisible among the machines
I'd skate by

But I couldn't save you
I couldn't save you
I didn't think to run
If I could turn back time
Or skip to the end

Paralyzed, only when you're inside
Can't close your eyes
A chasm opens in your chest
The crushing weight, holding you down slow
The road falls off a cliff

And I couldn't save you
I couldn't save you
I didn't hear you cry
If I could turn back time,
you know I would

Where did I go wrong?
When did I lose you?
How can I go on?
What would you have me do?

I'd show you my heart through my kaleidoscope,
and cut straight down to the bone
Nothing safe in all the world have I found
None may soothe the darkness of my soul

To be alive only in dreams
To realize finality
Heaven knows that I have never doubted you
Even as the earth flies on without you

No, I couldn't save you
I couldn't save you
I couldn't face you
How would I change you?
If only I could
