Picking Up Speed

[Verse 1] Picking up speed heading straight towards a solid wall No illusions spill your contents on the floor How can you have an open book without an open door? Dark approaches, who will mind the children when you keep on falling off? [Pre-Chorus] The armed figurine is closing fast Oh, have you got the time to fade away? I'm running from the faces of the past That why not everybody should have a say [Verse 2] Sinking down fast to where the colours disappear Despair is hiding in my pocket full of words that can't communicate [Pre-Chorus] I'm bound by the promise of the sun I'm lost out at sea without a cause [Chorus] I can't see my baby anymore When the powers that be keep on stealing all the light Of even the darkest night Getting hazy, eyes are all but closed Am I close to where I was a day before? [Verse 3] Expending energy on things that I'll regret I'm burning up the wick on both ends now my table is on fire [Pre-Chorus] I'm running out of time can't find a buyer Rush into a void I can't escape [Chorus] I can't see my baby anymore When the powers that be keep on stealing all the light Of even the darkest night Getting hazy, eyes are all but closed Am I close to where I was a day before? To where I was a day before? [Outro] I can't see my baby anymore When the powers that be keep on stealing all the light Of even the darkest night Getting hazy, eyes are all but closed Am I close to where I was a day before?
