Every moment is dead to me
Do you remember? Because I can't forget
The saddest story, of all that ever was, or will be
Laid out before me, a living heart attack
Play it back, play it back
Take my eyes, I cannot see sense
Past and future tense, every moment is dead to me
Safe and sound, anywhere but here
I see it crystal clear, but it means nothing to me
It means nothing to me
Have you seen a future, filled with regret?
Breathe and count to ten, start over again
You want to run away, just let yourself decay
A living heart attack, play it back, play it back
The empty hourglass, we're going nowhere fast
There's no more time to kill, if time is standing still
Take my eyes, I cannot see sense
Past and future tense, every moment is dead to me
Safe and sound, anywhere but here
I see it crystal clear, but it means nothing to me
It means nothing to me
Play it back, play it back
Over and over again, over and over again
The empty hourglass, we're going nowhere fast
There's no more time to kill, if time is standing still
