With my eyes wide open I walk the plank.
With my eyes wide shut I jump to catch your fall,
crashing on ice where I expected water to be,
Can't break through, can't break out.
It's hard to forget you when you gave me so much to remember.
At least it's not my fault this time.
The bond is holding on my lungs, breathing me in and out, won't let up.
Diminishing hope and fading trust in everybody that pretends to hold the rope for me.
Why is it we remember good times and it hurts more than the memory of bad ones?
With my eyes wide open I walk the plank.
With my eyes wide shut I jump to catch your fall.
Sometimes we have to get lost in order to find ourselves.
And all the tracks end here and I don't know where to go.
And I finally feel freedom in midair falling.
We all have stories we will never tell.
