[Verse 1]

Just ahead I see you winding up

And you're dressing this a color on the edge of fire

Until these tightened strides

They march in time again

I don't know where I will go

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know if I will cut through

I don't know

I don't know

If my heart will beat without you

(Guiding it)

[Chorus]

Winding up

Leading me

Winding up to explode

[Verse 2]

It's the sound of your racing heart

That beats in time with every start

Reaches up and across the sky

It makes you want to rise

Falling to pieces

I can't let go

Tearing apart your lies

Wanting to live

[Verse 3]

It's the sound of your shotgun pulse

Beating over and over in your silent halls

It's a thought that keeps us alive

It makes us want to try

Falling to pieces

I can't let go

Tearing apart your lies

I want to live

(A scream to guide me through my life)

[Chorus]

Winding up

Leading me

Winding up to what you can not unwind

This side of you and if it's taken away

You won't know what to do

You're stretching to meet expectations that you will never reach

[Post-Chorus]

And now it's far too late

And now it's far too late

Far too late

To ever leave this cold

Giving up

Marching in time with their drums

I'm letting go

(Of everything I once loved)
