lyrics

The revival stands with her arms outstretched
In the wreckage of the dreams I left
Dressed in twilight, calling my name
Her fading light feels like a tidal wave

Heaven help me I'm so lost
And nothing's ever as good as it was
I don't think I'll ever wake up
And the revival won't save us

Spending cigarettes, retracing my steps
And it feels like time has found it's edge
The fields ablaze, there's a match in my hands
The tide has pulled me as far as it can

Heaven help me I'm so lost
And nothing's ever as good as it was
I don't think I'll ever wake up
And the revival won't save us

Through the echos of a former life
Time has left with what used to be mine
Out of sight, holding on tight
Why am I so afraid of letting go

Heaven help me I'm so lost
And nothing's ever as good as it was
I don't think I'll ever wake up
And the revival won't save us
