The Past Should Stay Dead
[Intro]
Tailored sheets to fix this dirty bed
For once, this dirt won't come all off
It can't be pushed aside
The wind is blowing through closed doors
With shadows dancing in the hall (Hall)
Now hit the floor, crawl to the side
We've all made better moves
Despite the slowing of our feet
[Verse 1]
For once, let's leave the dreaming to someone else
And our time has slipped away
We're sinking faster, faster, no more play
Get ready for the catch
I'm at the next step waiting for a year
And all at once, it leaves you breathless
With next to nothing, but open hands
[Verse 2]
Reach out, hold on tight
I know it hurts, but keep trying
And with your luck, this won't be over quick
Out of the blue, it strikes you
What's left to catch but the fear of letting go?
(The fear of letting go)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm biting down
The stress gets harder now
[Chorus]
The mood is let down
Let it play for the last time
Take this last second to recline
[Verse 3]
For once, don't be so weak
Back up the feelings that you claim now
Fall deeper into a world that you can't explain
For once, don't be so weak
I see the mistake and it's you
Don't try another line, I know the truth
[Bridge]
And let it save you when nothing else will
I will let it save you when nothing else will
(Let it save you)
[Chorus]
The mood is let down
Let it play for the last time
Take this last second to know
[Outro]
We know who does it best
Wind is blowing through closed doors
With shadows dancing in the hall (Hall)
Now hit the floor, crawl to the side
We've all made better moves
Despite the slowing of our feet
Let hate save you when nothing else will
I know the truth, it won't save you
