Beautify all I know, keep on dancing Let it all turn to gold When the dream touches ground The demons walk in, and I know what awaits A priceless glory Memento mori All for nothing now I know Nothing of the heart remains Even if we could've stayed We've been here long enough Long enough to know it's all in vain Everything we tried to say Up until the final day I guess we said enough Said enough to know it's all in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain See the world through a tear, keep on breathing Salt has dried, you're not here Just a heartbeat away, the demons walk in Now I know it's too late A priceless glory Memento mori All for nothing now I know Nothing of the heart remains Even if we could've stayed We've been here long enough Long enough to know it's all in vain Everything we tried to say Up until the final day I guess we said enough Said enough to know it's all in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain Took the memories, but I can feel them fading All our vanities, there's nothing left to save me now I can take 'em 'cross the border I can take 'em 'cross the border Leaving everything we have for you to find it Every time I walk away, I wanna turn around I wanna turn around Nothing of the heart remains Even if we could've stayed We've been here long enough Long enough to know it's all in vain Everything we tried to say Up until the final day I guess we said enough We said enough to know it's all in vain I guess we said enough We said enough to know it's all in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain All in vain
