Opera - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

It's feeling colder by the water, the wind is made of stones

I see your board of snakes and ladders all carved out in the snow

And I'm feeling more and more nostalgic the deeper I look down

To the water, to your face in the snow

The trees are whistling that song you used to sing when we were young

I'm in the fortress of the misty air, thickening my lungs

And I'm feeling nervous at the surface of the summit

I'm remembering it all

The air's feeling thin now

Watch as I fall down

See your face as I black out

I can see the stars

The harder that I'm blinking, constellations start appearing

Floating in the dark

I loved you, what a tragedy

I hit the ground 'cause you said you'd meet me

At the opera

I feel the pressure when I'm breathing, there's a stiffness to my stare

But I saw your shadow come from stage-left, but I guess it wasn't there

Now I'm walking up the aisle, nearly running with my steps

And I hate that I miss you, but I'm never falling again
