My secrets are buried now From my heart and my bones catch a fever When it cuts you up this deep It's hard to find a way to breathe Your eyes are swallowing me Mirrors start to whisper Shadows start to see My skin's smothering me Help me find a way to breathe Time stood still The way it did before It's like I'm sleepwalking Fell into another hole I got It's like I'm sleepwalking I'm at the edge of the world Where do I go from here? Do I disappear? Edge of the world Should I sink or swim? Or simply disappear? Your eyes are swallowing me Mirrors start to whisper Shadows start to see My skin's smothering me Help me find a way to breathe Seeing as time stood still The way it did before It's like I'm sleepwalking Fell into another hole I got It's like I'm sleepwalking Wake up Take my hand and Give me a reason to start again Wake up Pull me out and Give me a reason to start again Time stands still (time stands still) Time stands still (time stands still) Your eyes are swallowing me Mirrors start to whisper Shadows start to see My skin's smothering me Help me find a way to breathe Time stands still The way it did before It's like I'm sleepwalking Feel into another hole I got It's like I'm sleepwalking (it's like I'm sleepwalking) (It's like I'm sleepwalking) (it's like I'm sleepwalking) Time stands still The way it did before It's like I'm sleepwalking
