[Verse 1]

Ten thousand years I've waited for the dawn -- I travel southward

This is the turning point

What does nostalgia mean to me?

It’s hard to stay in line when all I've done is walk in circles

--But now I'm cutting corners

Burden breaks, the mirror cracks, and I fall

Down!

[Chorus]

I’ll go down singing silent pleas to

A face that I once loved-- a face that I used to know

Demons found me but something's got me paralysed

Sleep has denied me

--And got me waking up -- insomnia

[Verse 2]

Four thousand lives I've lived and now I trace four thousand footsteps

The apparition in my head reflects what's haunting me

I feel my strings begin to fray - my wit will surely fracture

I feel my curtains draw a close; I turn away; embrace the applause

[Chorus]

I'll go down singing silent pleas to

A face that I once loved-- a face that I used to know

Demons found me but something's got me paralysed

Sleep has denied me

--And got me waking up -- insomnia

[Bridge]

All of my lives have reappeared

Trapped me in the dark; so clear

I might find my way down here

All of my lives have disappeared

Lost within the atmosphere

I might find my way down here

Way down here

All of my lives have disappeared

Feel my conscience start to clear

Waging wars, but I'm still here

[Outro]

Go down singing silent pleas to

A face that I once loved-- a face that I used to know

Demons found me but something's got me paralysed

Sleep has denied me

-- And got me waking up -- insomnia
