Been moving on so long
In silence and running on empty
I've known it all along
Compliance is no less than guilty
You can break the speed of sound
Horizons won't come any closer
The road to hell is closed
Resurfaced with my good intentions
You look at one who knows
The purpose of broken conventions
The longer it goes the harder it gets
And passions burn like blazing sunsets
But the needle's dropping lower and lower down
Well it's a sight unseen to me
To set alight so evenly
You don't have to mean to be
Fate will tell you when you're going to be
Lovers
Strayed from meaning
Still concealing
It's further away than you thought it could be
But nothing is gained 'til you try it and see that
The burning is more than a demon could take
Maybe it won't be as bad when you wake up to
What it would mean if you walked through the door
To find it's a place that you've been to before
The colours are different but nothing has changed
It's still where your mind goes and leaves you deranged
In a mess you can't possibly clean up yourself
To burn out completely or die on the shelf
It's the risk that you take when you loosen the screws
You can't put them back when you find out you're losing
Your sanity calls but you can't hear the phone
It's happened before but you couldn't have known that
Your destiny's gone for a day by the sea
On opposite shorelines but still you seem to be
Lovers
In silence and running on empty
I've known it all along
Compliance is no less than guilty
You can break the speed of sound
Horizons won't come any closer

Resurfaced with my good intentions
