Lyrics

This Close

[Verse 1]

Had a dream that we were dead

But we pretended that we still lived

With no regrets we never bled

And we took everything life could give

And came up broken empty handed in the end

[Pre-Chorus]

In the hearts of the blind

Something you'll never find is a vision of light

With the voice of the dead I'm screaming

[Chorus]

I don't know who I am anymore

Not once in life have I been real

But I never felt this close before

I've been looking in your window

I've been dressing in your clothes

I've been walking dead, watching you

Long enough to know I can't go on

[Verse 2]

Had a dream that fire fell

From an opening in the sky

Someone warned me of this hell

And I spit in his naive eye

And left him crying for my soul he said would die

[Pre-Chorus]

In the hearts of the blind

Something you'll never find is a vision of light

With the voice of the dead I'm screaming

[Chorus]

I don't know who I am anymore

Not once in life have I been real

But I never felt this close before

I've been looking in your window

I've been dressing in your clothes

I've been walking dead, watching you

Long enough to know I can't go on

[Pre-Chorus]

In the hearts of the blind

Something you'll never find is a vision of light

With the voice of the dead I'm screaming

[Chorus]

I don't know who I am anymore

Not once in life have I been real

But I never felt this close before

I've been looking in your window

I've been dressing in your clothes

I've been walking dead, watching you

Long enough to know I can't go on

[Outro]

I've been looking in your window

I've been dressing in your clothes

I've been walking dead, watching you

Long enough to know I can't go on
