[Verse 1] A blinding flash divides the dark, A frozen frame, a dying spark. You stand in smoke, a shadow grey, As time and space just fade away. I reach out through the icy glare, To touch a face that isn't there. [Chorus] Strobe illusion in the night, Frozen in the blinding light. Step by step, but locked in place, Phantom figures lost in space. Pulse of white and void of black, There is no way to turn us back. [Verse 2] The void returns between the beams, We shatter into endless dreams. Your blinking eyes, a starlit screen, The coldest sight I've ever seen. Are you still real when shadows fall, Or just a picture on the wall? [e guitar and synthesizers solo] [Bridge] Light and dark, white and black, No way forward, no way back. Hold your breath and count to four, Hit the light and close the door. [Chorus] Strobe illusion in the night, Frozen in the blinding light. Step by step, but locked in place, Phantom figures lost in space. Pulse of white and void of black, There is no way to turn us back. [Outro] Every time the flashes shine, I recall your ghost in mine. In the light that breaks the blue, I remember you.
