lyrics

It felt like falling…
and the sky was an empty sea
There was no sign of stopping…
and all I could do was let it be

The stars spun around
on a merry go round
while the days were no different than years,
Losing track of the center,
in a fishbowl of winter
going numb to the wetness of tears

(Then the end of momentum)

It felt like dying…
and the endless night was the shape of me
There were no signs of feeling
and all I could do was let it be

The stars ran aground
with no lights and no sound
there was nothing but years upon years,
No sensation of center,
no end to this winter,
numbness has silenced all fears
