Lyrics

Becoming X

[Verse 1]

You can keep breathing

I only fall when you are near me

Incomplete

I only talk when you can hear me

Keep dreaming

Can't wake up until I'm sleeping

Lost on me

Close to something I'll never be

[Chorus]

(Very nearly something to me)

(Very nearly something to me)

[Verse 2]

If I just stay here

Close my eyes can you still see me

Obsolete

Very nearly something to see

See me

I can't wake up for sleeping

Incomplete

Very nearly something to me

Still see me

There's a punishment needed

Obsolete

[Chorus]

Very nearly something to be

Very nearly something to be

[Verse 3]

You can keep trying

Drown in sleep to be flying

See for miles

Something that I wanted to be

I can't wake this dream

Prototype ends up has been

Incomplete

The consequence of something to be
