Just ahead I see you winding up
  And you're dressing this color on the edge of fire
  Until these tightened strides
  They march in time again
  I don't know if I will cut through
    I don't know if my heart will beat without you guiding it
    Winding up
  Leading me
  Winding up to explode
    It's the sound of your racing heart
  That beats in time with every start
  (the start of the year. the start of life. the start of war)
  That reaches up and across the sky
  That makes us want to try
    I'm falling to peices
  I can't let go
  Tearing apart your lies
  I want to live
    It's the sound of your shotgun pulse
  Beating over and over in your silent halls
  It's a thought that keeps us alive
  It makes us want to rise
    A scream to guide me through my life
  Winding up
  Leading me
  Winding up to what you can not unwind
    This side of you and if it's taken away
  You won't know what to do
  You're stretching to meet expectations that you will never reach
    And now it's far to late to ever leave this cold
    I'm giving up
  Marching in time with your drums
  I'm letting go of everything i once loved
