[Intro] [clean electric guitar arpeggio, distant room tone, atmospheric delay swells] [Verse 1] Life in my eyes A motion picture that slowly dies The air I breathe, dry heat but soothing Your name I'm still hearing You saved me but taunt me My body aches from all of this running Surrender to this, seeking nothing but bliss Held back by emptiness With all of this distance my heart won't slow down [Chorus] Your past is your own, you fuel it by not letting it go Foundations are building, confusion is growing I won't lie to you but without you knowing The future is helpless, conjured to be endless My heart and my mind are yours You're life in my eyes Long story short [Bridge] [drums pull back, ambient guitar soundscapes and rising warm vocal harmony] If I could turn the miles into a doorway If I could quiet every warning in my head I'd meet you where the leaving started And say the things I should have said [Final Chorus] [dynamic post-rock crescendo, driving drums, melodic ringing octave guitars] Your past is your own, you fuel it by not letting it go Foundations are building, confusion is growing I won't lie to you but without you knowing The future is helpless, conjured to be endless My heart and my mind are yours You're life in my eyes Long story short [Breakdown] [tragic descending clean guitar figures, falling bassline, half-time drums, vocals close to breaking] [Outro] [guitars wash out into spacious ambient delay and tape hiss] Long story short Long story short Long story short Long story short
