[Verse 1]
Take a step back
Knowing all that's real
Breathe out
Alone again
Drowning in the noise
The slow learner

[Pre-Chorus]
Distance in fire that surrounds us
There are pyres all around you
Can't you see?
Do you see them?

[Chorus]
Distance, leaving
Like the first time, I did screaming
(Like the first time)
Doesn't always have to be so black and white
Pull the wool over my eyes one last time
One last time

[Verse 2]
Take a step back
Letting go of the fear
Tonight I am alone again
All I hear is noise, deafening
Hopelessly, I have no voice
But I'm screaming
Living in tragedy, in tragedy
And now nothing is how it once seemed
[Chorus]
Distance, leaving
Like the first time, I did screaming
(Like the first time)
Doesn't always have to be so black and white
Pull the wool over my eyes one last time
One last time

[Bridge]
I will write to you
Through the stars and the clouds
With threads in the air
Trade your dreams with mine

[Chorus]
Distance, leaving
Like the first time, I did screaming
Doesn't always have to be so black and white
Pull the wool over my eyes one last time
One last time
One last time
