[00:30.15]Blackout, nothing to be seen
[00:36.24]Eyes in the dark, scanning for light
[00:42.24]Waiting to shed away my skin,
[00:47.88]just to learn that in the end, my flesh is still within
[00:54.09]Been trying to chase away the years
[01:00.21]between us always, so it appears.
[01:06.09]But time can only serve the clock
[01:11.52]As you and I will always serve
[01:15.33]Our long and lonely walk
[01:21.18]But I won’t shut down my heart
[01:24.39]I won’t shut down my heart
[01:27.09]I won’t cave and give in
[01:30.09]Or entertain the thought
[01:31.59]That nothing works and nothing works and nothing works
[01:37.80]It’s a habit I can’t quit, a form of preservation if you will
[01:46.68]I’ll be standing here and waiting for you still
[01:56.04]My days
[01:57.60]Are shifting into nights
[02:02.13]A long and cold embrace
[02:05.13]That suddenly expires
[02:07.86]And there’s a gaping hole where you once were, I know
[02:13.80]You’ll find me always in the dark, searching for that glow
[02:19.89]Although....
[02:20.40]But I won’t shut down my heart
[02:24.57]I won’t shut down my heart
[02:27.42]I won’t cave and give in
[02:30.45]Or entertain the thought
[02:31.95]That nothing works and nothing works and nothing works
[02:38.13]It’s a habit I can’t quit, a form of preservation if you will
[02:47.13]I’ll be standing here and waiting for you still
[03:32.67]It’s quiet
[03:34.26]Quiet now at home
[03:38.70]It’s quiet in the hall
[03:41.76]Quiet on the telephone
[03:45.18]I try to fall asleep and just be gone
[03:50.46]But there’s a hum inside my head that creeps into my song
[03:56.52]And we ride, howling in the night
[04:02.67]Ghost trains in the dark, we pass each other by
[04:10.20]But I won’t shut down my heart
[04:13.44]I won’t shut down my heart
[04:16.07]I won’t cave and give in
[04:19.11]Or entertain the thought
[04:20.57]That nothing works and nothing works and nothing works
[04:26.82]It’s a habit I can’t quit, a form of preservation if you will
[04:32.10]I’ll be standing here and waiting for you still
[04:34.56]I can’t shut down my heart
[04:37.56]I won’t shut down my heart
[05:00.12]I’ll be standing here and waiting for you still
