Lyrics

[00:34.43] As the candles yawned,
[00:36.33] My world grew darker
[00:37.92] 'Til barely a detail remained
[00:41.33] Parchment and smoke
[00:42.56] Through distant chimes
[00:44.23] Moths carried by the breeze
[00:47.69] Her finger to my lips,
[00:54.15] I am stilled in an instant -
[01:00.22] I sip, and I'm numbed
[01:06.86] From here the path winds backwards
[02:01.83] At first I see my entering
[02:06.85] And then steps in reverse
[02:09.84] Descent where I had fallen
[02:57.08] Familiar, all is skewed
[03:01.83] And yet I cannot reflect
[03:04.03] Beyond my eyelids, I have died
[03:58.62] Days are merging quickly now,
[04:02.80] Into years that spiral from my chest
[04:06.66] They pass but leave no mark
[04:10.37] Familiar, all is skewed
[04:15.09] And yet I cannot reflect
[04:17.63] Beyond my eyelids, I have died
[04:22.83] yet I cannot reflect
[04:25.99] From here the path winds backwards
[04:33.07] Beyond my eyelids, I have died
[04:43.68] I swallow forgotten words
[04:46.98] To gain what was lost
[04:51.76] And lost what was gained
[04:54.71] Until neither is real
[04:59.72] Behind my head, her hands hold no weight
[05:42.61] I have reached a beginning,
[05:49.48] But somehow I do not stop
[05:54.32] I fall through the first moment
[05:59.34] To find that there is more
