Swoon

Mild rays of the sun will burn your eyes

After dwelling in darkness for the rest of your life

Mild rays of the sun will burn your eyes

After dwelling in darkness

Walking out of this cave

This forlorn place that I used to call mine

Now daylight burns my eyes

The earth is shaking

Times are changing

The Clock is ticking

Even down here we won't be secure

The ceiling crumbles

Over my warped head

Giving way to broad daylight

Am I already dead?

Mild rays of the sun will burn your eyes

After dwelling in darkness

In this cave that I used to call mine

Searching for shelter

Right after the raid

Cover up your eyes: the most human trait

Don't want any change

I prefer to stall

Why can't we appreciate the gift of free fall

Freedom is what scares us most of all

We duck for cover in our shelters and caves

Freedom is what scares us most of all

And our horizon is never more than 2 steps away

I'm about to faint

So much to see

So much to hear

So much to dare

So much to share

So much to feel

So much to steal

So much to taste

No time to waste

My tongue is burning

My eyes are watering

My mind is turning

I'm overloaded

My limbs are aching

My ears are bleeding

System's collapsing

I'm about to faint

So much to do

So much to try

So much to lose

Before we die

So much to feel

So much to steal

So much to taste

No time to waste

My tongue is burning

My eyes are watering

System's collapsing

I'm about to faint

So much to feel

So much to steal

So much to taste

No time to waste

I'm about to FAINT!

So much to feel

So much to steal

So much to taste

No time to...
