Verse 1 The monitors fade to a single line The clock stops counting your borrowed time A final breath like a sinking stone You step off the edge of the world you’ve known I can't be alone, guess I never told you so Now I'm standing on a different shore Staring down a hurtling storm Water rips with rage, an endless row of angry waves Making its way towards me. Chorus And I would swim the Paladin Strait Without any flotation Into the void, into the black The silent space where you can’t look back Just a glimpse of visual aid Of you on the other shoreline Waiting, expectations That I'm gonna make it. Verse 2 Is it a sea with no shore in sight? Is it a dark that devours light? A static hum on a broken screen The blankest page that you’ve ever seen Tracing out a line, a route I've mapped a thousand times Making my way towards you You spent your life trying to find a sign But there are no answers past the borderline. Chorus But I would swim the Paladin Strait Without any flotation Into the void, into the black The silent space where you can’t look back Just a glimpse of visual aid Of you on the other shoreline Waiting, expectations That I'm gonna make it. Bridge We build our castles in the sand Afraid of what we can't command But here's my chance, time to take it Can't be sure that I'll make it Even though I'm past the point of no return I'm all in, I'm surrounded Put my money where my mouth is The void is kind, the void is vast It takes the future and the past It strips away the names we wore Until we aren't us anymore. Verse 3 Maybe it’s peace, maybe it’s nought The final battle you never fought You dissolve like smoke in a midnight room An empty cradle, a quiet womb Climb the top of the tower "Show yourself," I yell louder Even though I'm past the point of no ret— Outro So few, so proud, so emotional. Just the quiet... Nothing left to fear. Nothing left to lose. Into the unknown. (Fade into silence)
