[Verse 1]
Ten thousand years I've waited for the dawn -- I travel southward
This is the turning point
What does nostalgia mean to me?
It’s hard to stay in line when all I've done is walk in circles
--But now I'm cutting corners
Burden breaks, the mirror cracks, and I fall
Down!

[Chorus]
I’ll go down singing silent pleas to
A face that I once loved-- a face that I used to know
Demons found me but something's got me paralysed
Sleep has denied me
--And got me waking up -- insomnia

[Verse 2]
Four thousand lives I've lived and now I trace four thousand footsteps
The apparition in my head reflects what's haunting me
I feel my strings begin to fray - my wit will surely fracture
I feel my curtains draw a close; I turn away; embrace the applause

[Chorus]
I'll go down singing silent pleas to
A face that I once loved-- a face that I used to know
Demons found me but something's got me paralysed
Sleep has denied me
--And got me waking up -- insomnia
[Bridge]
All of my lives have reappeared
Trapped me in the dark; so clear
I might find my way down here

All of my lives have disappeared
Lost within the atmosphere
I might find my way down here
Way down here

All of my lives have disappeared
Feel my conscience start to clear
Waging wars, but I'm still here

[Outro]
Go down singing silent pleas to
A face that I once loved-- a face that I used to know
Demons found me but something's got me paralysed
Sleep has denied me
-- And got me waking up -- insomnia
