Lyrics

    they're starting to open up the sky
    they're starting to reach down through
    and it feels like we're living in that split second
    of a car crash
    and time is slowing down
    and if we only had a little more time
    and this time
    is all there is
    do you remember the time we
    and all the times we
    and should have
    and were going to
    i know   
    and i know you remember
    how we could justify it all
    and we knew better
    in our hearts we knew better
    and we told ourselves it didn't matter
    and we chose to continue
    and none of that matters anymore
    in the hour of our twilight
    and soon it will be all said and done
    and we will all be back together as one
    if we will continue at all
    
    shame on us
    doomed from the start
    may god have mercy
    on our dirty little hearts
    shame on us
    for all we've done
    and all we ever were
    just zeros and ones 
    
    and you never get away
    and you never get to take the easy way
    and all of this is a consequence
    brought on by our own hand
    if you believe in that sort of thing
    and did you ever really find
    when you closed your eyes
    any place that was still
    and at peace
    and i guess i just wanted to tell you
    as the lights starts to fade
    that you are the reason
    that i am not afraid
    and i guess i just wanted to mention
    as the heavens will fall
    we will be together soon if we
    will be anything at all
    
    shame on us
    doomed from the start
    may god have mercy
    on our dirty little hearts
    shame on us
    for all we've done
    and all we ever were
    just zeros and ones
