Verse 1

 Abandon me!

 I was never one to hold out well under pressure.

And I hope you can find me.

 I've gotta find myself before I can move on this time.

Can we penetrate the barricades created by me?

We know our mouths aren't locked through forced doors...

Chorus

And I can feel the tension in your words,

 Screaming for me

 To understand what you've been thinking.

There's a cloud casting o'er your head.

Can't see anything clear;

You're only seeing who you were.

Verse 2

Too far to reach I'll say...

She's on the tips of my fingers.

Don't let her fall!

There will be no re-turn...

[palm-muted]

The burdened act which brought

 Us to a halt will some-day make us stronger!

Chorus

And I can feel the tension in your words,

 Screaming for me

 To understand what you've been thinking.

There's a cloud casting o'er your head.

Can't see anything clear;

You're only seeing who you were.

Verse 3

Clouds casting over your head;

Self portraits of what you once were...

 You once were...

Clouds casting over your head;

Self-portraits of what you once were...

 You once were!

She will break and shatter.

There will be no return.

Hold on tight.

Bridge

Let’s stop everything;

Exchange all that we know... D5x8

It’s much better without having gravity holding you down from the air.

Stand up for what you once were. [This is my time]

Our time to make the changes that we want to make real.

Take action, action!

Stand up for what you once were.

(This is) our time
