Lyrics
[Verse 1] He lives inside an existence that strays far beyond The time perceived as normal, (he) bends all limitation A king among the binary waves, conjoined In our reality, perceived to be null and void While I wait for him to show me a sign or be destroyed I implore... go on walk all over me

[Pre-Chorus] I'm a long, long way from giving up Call me old fashion, call me a fool His eyes a shade from waking up A boy lost in the pattern Over and over, rеpeat

[Chorus] How long have you waited hеre? For someone to touch you For someone to hear you scream? It's okay to be afraid, I'm here with you

[Verse 2] Will we allow Ourselves a cure before it does harm? How long before the mind begins to weak Before it fails to witness Before it gets a fair chance to start?

[Pre-Chorus] I'm a long, long way from giving up Call me old fashion, call me a fool His eyes a shade from waking up A boy lost in the pattern Over and over, repeat

[Chorus] How long have you waited here? For someone to touch you For someone to hear you scream? It's okay to be afraid, I'm here with you

[Bridge] A world in limbo, waiting, opening up A world in limbo waiting to open for us A world in limbo, waiting, opening up A world in limbo, waiting A world in limbo, waiting, opening up A world in limbo waiting to open for us A world in limbo, waiting, opening up A world in limbo, waiting

[Chorus] How long have you waited here? For someone to touch you For someone to hear you scream? It's okay to be afraid, I'm here with you

[Outro] My love, we'll make it My hands, you can leave or take them We're strong enough to face this fear Now watch time disappear (oh) Time disappear (oh)
