Meltdown

These city lights, they paralyze a chilly night

As I breathe in a clear starry sky

It's 2 AM, with tired eyes I reflect on my past

The world is moving fast

This scorching pain that I bury inside

Would make more sense if I had a reason to find

The fuel that burns to keep me alive

But if they were nothing but lies I wouldn't mind

I have a dream where I strangle you with both of my hands

That afternoon light shining bright through my weary mind

And with a smile I finally snap your paper thin neck

So satisfied so silent my tears fill my eyes

Diving in, I'm reaching for the core of a nuclear reactor

I wanna melt away all these useless memories into a blue eternity

Giving in, I'm reaching for the core of a nuclear reactor

For I want nothing more than to rest eternally

Maybe I'll be doing something right

Alone and stale above my crumbled window pane

I hear footsteps climbing up the stairs

The clouds, they pass and shrivel as they overcast

And flooding here and everywhere

I see the twilight is showering light

The burning sun is crying a ruby red dye

As if I'm languidly melting tonight

And bit by bit my world slowly just dies

I have a dream where I strangle you with both of my hands

That early spring, curtains fluttering trace a fragrant breeze

And as your words, like the lips spoke from spill out in vain

And foaming out like bubbles, they float from your mouth

Diving in, I'm reaching for the core of a nuclear reactor

I wanna melt away all these useless memories

Into a blue eternity

Giving in, I'm reaching for the core of a nuclear reactor

For I want nothing more than to rest eternally

Like those nights when I slept peacefully

A TV host, the second hand is ticking slow in my memory

So faint I hear it echo; A crowd of voices growing old

Repeating on and on until it swallows me whole

Allegro, agitate

Make the ringing stop before I go insane

Allegro, agitate

Make the ringing stop before I go insane

I had a nightmare where the whole world vanished before my eyes

Wake up alone consumed by the darkness of the night

And as I reach out my heartbeat leaps and I cannot breathe

No, I cannot I can't go on like this no more...

Diving in, I'm reaching for the core of a nuclear reactor

I wanna melt away all these useless memories and finally rest in peace tonight

Giving in, I'll leave this world for good

Because I am so very sure

That when the morning comes

The peace of mind I've been hoping for will finally come true

That's where I need to be

My perfect world...
