Am             Em  E   F           Gm   Am
On the edge of reason, beyond understanding

Silent she waits, perfect oblivion

A E F              G          A E F             G
    She’s crawling to the end,      perfect oblivion

  Hm          Em
I live behind mirrors within a prison without any bars

Yet I remain lost to the world

   E
In hell I’m suspended within a prism

Cm Am  C    Dm     Am F
So-ooo many walls, so many years

Am     C                    F
Too often I’ve watched them die

   I am a ticking time bomb waiting in a trance

I need you more tonight than you will ever know

I swear to never forget this heartbreaking dance

The hell of being trapped is simply not a match for death

Heaven  awaits

      Em
Now I know not to be afraid of the end

Am C     F  C                      
My love awaits, will you be there?

Take me away     (I’m ready, I’ll be home soon)

I need you more tonight than you will ever know

I swear to never forget this heartbreaking dance

Beautiful pure silence, come on! Embrace me

If I had just one wish 

Am               Gm Am
Bababda  Bababda Baaaa

I’d choke prophets, hang angels, burn children 

Bb      A                                            Bb       C
oh, I’d drink oceans, eat the moon, flood the world, end everything

  A     E   F  
breathe in, breathe out

   Am              Em F
we could run far away but then how would we sleep at night?

Am                Em          F
I’ve been looking for the words to say our last goodbyes

Am         Em                  F             Dm F
Hold on to fleeting hopes that I just might survive
[Outro] (Repeat 5x while fading out)
Am               Em C
Give in to the pleasure

     F
make it last forever

Am              F                C
Hold on hold on to everything we are
