[Verse]

These city lights, so blinding, that I cannot see

But I still feel the chill lingering

Sleepless tonight, at 2 am, as everything

Begins to change so suddenly

Without the fuel for an empty lighter

I feel my insides burning, as if they’re on fire

Sometimes I wish it was all a big lie

How nice it’d be to witness it all pass on by


[Pre-Chorus]

And in my dream, both my hands were wrapped so tight around you

And as this light from this afternoon shined on us, I started to

Watch you, as your throat had started twitching for air

As I looked on through eyes that were blurry with tears


[Chorus]

Standing on this fusion reactor

I want to try to dive to its core

The blue light pulls me in, as my captor, so beautiful

As if my sins are forgiven

Standing on this fusion reactor

I want to try to dive to its core

My feelings draw me in

To wish that maybe one day that everything might all be forgiven


[Verse]

The sound of steps of someone rushing up the stairs

Outside, they see a balcony there

The cloudy skies it drops a shadow down onto

A room that’s made up of window glass

The spreading twilight, it’s just up ahead

The sun, set red, flushed with tears a swollen red eye

The world itself, I can see that it’s dead

It slowly melts, without knowing even if it’s alive


[Pre-Chorus]

And in my dream, both my hands were wrapped so tight around you

The gentle breeze, which had come with spring kept the curtains swaying, endlessly

As words spilled out from cracked open lips

And with a pop, it all fades away to nothingness


[Chorus]

Standing on this fusion reactor

I want to try to dive to its core

All of the memories will disappear and melt away

Fading into a pure white light

Standing on this fusion reactor

I want to dive in like before

It might just be a feeling, but I’ve become quite sure that I can fall asleep again once more


[Bridge]

Life ticks along

On a clock lit by a t.v. host

Every second’s gone

Someone just out of sight

I hear them laughing through the night

It echoes through the room but I can’t tell who it is

Allegro agitate

Ringing in my ears as it refuses to fade

Allegro agitate

Ringing in my ears as it refuses to fade


[Pre-Chorus]

And in my dream the world vanished it was gone in a flash

But when night came, all the darkness had spilled in my room I felt that the

Silence wrapped both it’s hands around me

And made it seem like I could barely struggle to breathe


[Chorus]

Standing on this fusion reactor

I want to try to dive to its core

I might just disappear…

Drifting off into a sleep for an uncountable number of years

When one morning, I will cease to be

How wonderful a world it would be every gear in this machine

Would once again they’d mesh with each other, spinning perfectly

That’s how the world would be

That’s how it’d be
