When we fall into the shadows of the long, eternal sleep
Ra-ta-ta-dow
Ra-ta-ta-dow
Ba-da-ba-da-dow
Ba-da-ba-da-dow
Will the heavy mortal urges sink into the silent deep?
When the beating of the heart comes to a sudden, chilling halt
Will the noise of all our thoughts vanish in the empty vault?
Through the blackout curtains, the moon begins to gleam
Piercing through the floorboards, a toxic, silver beam
Yeah
Wake up to the static
Forcing open heavy eyes, the feeling's automatic
A basic human longing keeps the fragile flesh awake
Ski-bi-di-bop
I feel the sudden ache
Walking on the borderline, the fever starts to break
Boom-bap
Slippers dragging slowly 'cross the wooden floor
Dropping from the world, walking to the lonely door
Trading the cold release for a mind that starts to sway
Zaba-daba-daba-doo-wop
Consciousness is crossing the borderline today
Listen to the water dripping, ticking from the sink
Tick-tock
Ba-da-ba-da-doo-wop
Ba-da-ba-da-ding
Is it clinging to the living, gasping for a breath?
Or a steady little countdown leading us to death?
When we fall into the shadows of the long, eternal sleep
Will the loneliness we carry sink into the silent deep?
Shoo-bee-doo-wah
When the soul is freed from gravity and leaves the aching land
It will scatter into dust, mixing with galactic sand
Rat-a-tat-tat
The piercing white of porcelain is burning in my sight
Standing in this empty room, swallowed by the night
I can hear the fragile vessel cracking at the seam
Ski-doo-bee-dow
The hollow core is filling with the shadows of a dream
Shadows of a dream
Shadows of a dream
Shadows of a dream
Listen to the water dripping, ticking like a clock
Click-clack
Knocking at the lock
Is it clinging to the living, gasping for a breath?
Or a steady little countdown leading us to death?
When we fall into the shadows of the long, eternal sleep
Ski-bi-di-bop-bop, falling too deep
Will the heavy mortal urges sink into the silent deep?
Will the noise of all our thoughts vanish with our final fault?
Rehearsing for the silence in the darkness of the vault
Brrrah
Da-ba-da-ba-doo-wop, ski-bi-di-bee-bop
Never gonna stop, letting the gravity drop
A screaming urge between the living and the dead
An echo ringing in the darkness of my head
Let me carve this very moment deep inside the heart
When we fall into the shadows of the long, eternal sleep
Will the loneliness we carry sink into the silent deep?
When the soul is freed from gravity and leaves the aching land
It will scatter into dust, mixing with galactic sand
Shoo-bee-doo-wop fading away
Melting in the slumber before the morning shade
Slipping far awaymore
