Dry throat, sweaty hands Cramped as the starting shot is fired The picture I'm caught in is slowing down As I stumble I will have to fall So I'll not have to face the faces Not have to face the faces Not have to face the faces Not have to face the faces Faced upwards to me Everything's so fast and yet slow Everything's so close and yet so far Everything's so fragile and still so unassailable All heroes will have to fall All heroes will have to fall All heroes will have to fall All heroes will have to fall All heroes will have to fall someday There are splinters in my hands And both my knees are bleeding I missed the last step of the stairs And keep pretending that I was tired So I would not have to face the faces Not have to face the faces Not have to face the faces Not have to face the faces Faced upwards to me
Dry throat, sweaty hands
Cramped as the starting shot is fired
The picture I'm caught in is slowing down
As I stumble I will have to fall
So I'll not have to face the faces
Not have to face the faces
Not have to face the faces
Not have to face the faces
Faced upwards to me
Everything's so fast and yet slow
Everything's so close and yet so far
Everything's so fragile and still so unassailable
All heroes will have to fall
All heroes will have to fall
All heroes will have to fall
All heroes will have to fall
All heroes will have to fall someday
There are splinters in my hands
And both my knees are bleeding
I missed the last step of the stairs
And keep pretending that I was tired
So I would not have to face the faces
Not have to face the faces
Not have to face the faces
Not have to face the faces
Faced upwards to me
