  • 1. He Walks 08:10
  • He walks with me
    He walks with me out of darkness
    The darkness

    He walks with me
    He walks with me out of darkness
    Out of darkness
    He walks with me
    He walks with me

    He walks
    He walks
    I have been here before
    I have seen this before
    He walks
    He walks
    I have seen this before
    This man before

    He walks
    He walks
    My voice echoes
    Against the ground
    He walks with me
    He walks with me
    I am no longer afraid
    I am no longer afraid
    I am no longer afraid
    I am no longer afraid
    I am no longer here
    All my tears are dry
    I can see the marks on my hands
    You
    You can see the marks on my hands
  • 2. Fantasy 06:46
  • Be still
    Be still
    Be still
    Don’t move
    Don’t move
    Stay still
    Stay still
  • 3. Pain 08:25
  • I am a stranger
    I am a stranger
    I am a stranger
    I am a stranger
    My body feels cold
    My body feels cold
    The blackened sky
    It frightens me

    Will I see you again?
    Will I see you again?
    Will I see you again?
    Is this really the end?
    Will I see you again?
    Is this really the end?
    Will I touch you again?
    Is this really the end?
    Will I touch you again?
    Is this really the end?

    I’ve said goodbye
    I’ve said goodbye
    I’ve said goodbye
    I’ve said goodbye

    I’ve said goodbye to you
    I must be leaving now
    I’ve said goodbye to you
    I must be leaving now
    I know this pain is real
    I know this pain is real
    I know this pain is real

    Please don’t forget me
    Please don’t forget me
    Please don’t forget me

    I’m feeling broken now
    I’m feeling broken now
    I won’t forget you now
    I won’t forget you
