Lyrics

    This is how
    It begins
    Push it away and it all comes back again
    All the flesh
    All the sin
    There was a time when it used to mean just about everything
    
    Just like now
    
    Breathe, echoing the sound
    Time starts slowing down
    Sink until I drown
    (Please) I don't ever want to make it stop
    
    And it keeps repeating
    Will you please complete me?
    
    Never be enough
    To fill me up
    
    Watch the white
    Turn to red
    It fills up the hole but it grows somewhere else instead
    All my life
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah, but it just left me dead
    (Well guess what?)
    The world is over and I realized it was all in my head
    
    Now everything is clear
    I erase the fear
    I can disappear
    (Please) I don't ever want to make it stop
    
    You can never leave me
    Will you please complete me
    
    Never be enough
    To fill me up

The third lyric of the first verse was changed on the actual recording:

    Push it away but it all comes back again
