Oh, How The Mighty Have Fallen Lyrics - Confessions - Alesana

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 

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? 

I am 

And I'm okay with that 

Yeah 

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? 

I am 

And I'm okay with that 

Yeah 

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 

(Don't go back) 

God 

(Don't leave me) 

Kill 

(Hide from the world) 

Me 

(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 

Time is mocking me 

And now I'm fighting gravity, yeah 

I'm destroying me 

(A straight line is not the shortest distance between two points 

I know that now) 

Colliding world will set you free 

(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! 

Will we come back from this? 

(It's beautiful) 

The portal opens 

Time is slowing 

No turning back 

Now, 'bel 

Yeah 

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
