Alesana - Oh, How the Mighty Have Fallen lyrics

I’m having trouble breathing
And if I don’t think fast I’m likely
To find myself here for good
Panic sets in as I start to question
Why I see you standing there behind the glass

Who said that we never would
Touch the speed of light?
So far behind me, understanding
Stars become rivers flowing backwards, Oh
Yeah! When did my heartbeat start to echo?
Why are my thoughts now
Fading, drifting, yeah, twisting
Yeah, tearing, yeah, bleeding? yeah!

Excuse me, are you a maniac? (Oooh)
I am and I’m okay with that yea ah ah

One last night, one final kiss
Desire begging me not to go
Goodbye my everything
I’m terrified, I pull you near
Making sure that you are real
Open my eyes, it was all a dream
Goodbye my everything

An endless maze, a mobiüs labyrinth
Redemption, exodus, where have you gone!
And yet your gaze will not
Cease to burn into me!
So far removed, so mockingly you observe
Pariah, hypocrite! I will be free!
And yet you will remain

Excuse me, are you a maniac? (Oooh)
I am and I’m okay with that yea ah ah

One last night, one final kiss
Desire begging me not to go
Goodbye my everything
I’m terrified, I pull you near
Making sure that you are real
Open my eyes, it was all a dream
Goodbye my everything

Goodbye my everything

No! Futile screams go unheard
Incarcerated by so many walls no!
Imprisoned and banished within a nexus
Of my own design

(Please! God! Kill! Me)
Don’t go back, don’t leave me
Hide from the world, let’s not exist

Time is mocking me and
Now I’m fighting gravity, yeah
I’m destroying me
Colliding worlds will set you free
(Please! God! Kill! Me)
Time is mocking me and
Now I’m fighting gravity, yeah

A straight line is not the
Shortest distance between two points!
I know that now! But
I’m afraid it might be too late!
I'm afraid it might be too late!
I'm afraid it might be too late!

Will we come back from this?
Hold my hand, I’m blind!
Will we come back from this?
Show me how, I’m lost! My God it’s beautiful
Will we come back from this?
The portal opens, time is slowing
No turning back now, ‘Bel!

Yea ah ah

One last night, one final kiss
Desire begging me not to go
Goodbye my everything
I’m terrified, I pull you near
Making sure that you are real
Open my eyes, it was all a dream
Goodbye my everything

Goodbye my everything

No! Futile screams go unheard
Incarcerated by so many walls no!
Imprisoned and banished within a nexus
Of my own design
