[Intro] [Verse 1] I measure the angle of my foot against the floor Drawing maps of journeys that will never leave the door Calculating gravity, the friction of the air While your taxi engine idles on the street down there I watch the pattern of the wood, the symmetry of space Perfectly paralyzed, refining the moment we embrace [Pre-Chorus] Cold mathematics stands behind me, whispering its law Every single movement has a fracture and a flaw I am waiting for the lightning, I am fighting with the clock But the synapse fires empty and the bones begin to lock [Chorus] We are fading in the half-life of our waiting Dividing all our seconds to survive At the frozen threshold, halfway dead and hesitating I’m halfway to the boundary, but I never will arrive You are leaving, and we reach our zenith zero Our critical zero, at zero point five [Verse 2] The screen is humming soft, a digital eclipse A heavy weight of lead is weighing down my fingertips I tell myself five minutes, just five minutes to prepare As if the sun would wait for me to crawl up from my chair I follow passing shadows as they flicker on the wall Locked in an eternal tomorrow, while the heavy curtains fall [Bridge] I fixed the neighbor’s fence, I swept the autumn leaves I built a thousand shields to hide what fear believes Because if I take the step and watch the glass shatter to the floor I'll know I was the one who could not save you anymore It is easier to freeze than to admit I lost the race So I let the quiet tension occupy your place [Chorus] We are fading in the half-life of our waiting Dividing all our seconds to survive At the frozen threshold, halfway dead and hesitating I’m halfway to the boundary, but I never will arrive You are leaving, and we reach our zenith zero Our critical zero, at zero point five [Outro] One half One quarter One eighth of a breath…… Infinite divisions in the shadow of your death…… I am almost at the door…… Almost at the door…… But the distance stays…… [End]
