I walk along these empty streets and watch the buildings counting sheep. Eyes shine like the moon still wandering along the sky. Oh. My feet begin to leave the ground. Desperation for the sound. Oh Remember when I laughed so long ago. so long ago. Oh the lights are blinding me. This lighthouse waiting by the sea. Won't ever find what it's looking for. Oh the Grand is pulling me down. I've gotta fight or else I'll drown. I just know that there is something more. And now all of the photographs fade. I should've thrown them away. When I had a better chance. oh I've let it all fall apart. Can I go back to the start? just take me . just take me now. Hold on.

This world, this world is cold, and we are close. Holding hands as we walk through this cityscape. The stars, the stars are all in bloom now. In the grass we reach for them, not a care in the world. Oh the rivers sings songs to us, memories of the town and all the streets below. And Oh the river sings lullabies, memories of that city, the city in your sleep, sleep, SLEEP. And Oh, I'll carry you home tonight. Just keep dreaming like you said. Oh I'll carry you home tonight. Just keep dreaming like you told me show me how, cuz I don't know. what to think anymore. but I'll find a way.

I open my eyes and try to soak it in. Still dressed in my suit but with a map again. These grated sewer bars can't hold me. I've got to let them go. And let the current take me into the unknown. Hold on, hold on. No, no, no. I close my eyes and breathe in the sun. feet on the ground. its only just begun. Pieces of this jigsaw puzzle scatter the sand. But Saints around will help me to stand. Oh, Oh Carry me home. Oh, Oh Carry me home. You know, My Dear you know we're not alone. So, Oh My dear won't you carry me home. And oh, all we did was dream of ways to leave this world in our sleep. Oh and that man in your dreams it was me after all.

F.I.D.O. 06:10
I wander back along the streets with passing cars. Just to breathe in again. Though my hands are wrapped and covered in scars. But I know I'll be just fine. Eyes are red but a smile starts to spread As the colors return. I've been seeing gray for far too long my dear But I know that I'll be just fine. Oh everyone was gone. Where'd they go, child? Where'd they go, child? Oh I was blind for too long. Don't you know, child? Don't you know we should've seen it all along. seeing red but a smile starts to spread the colors still fading in I've been seeing gray for far too long my dear But I know that I'll be just fine. Oh everyone was gone. Where'd they go, child? Where'd they go, child? Oh I was blind for soo long. Don't you know, child? Don't you know we should've seen it all along.
