I wake up in an unfamiliar bed
The dark confusion clearing from my head
And I feel that you are near me
And I hope, hope you won’t fear me
Cause I know that you can hear me
In your mind
You stand before me hanging by a thread
By every right I think I should be dead
Who are you? I don’t remember
Who am I? I don’t remember
Where are we? I don’t remember
Anything
Chorus
Oh, this resonance between us
Searing from your eyes into my brain
Our connection that I’m feeling
The one thing that protects me from the pain
And as I stare into your eyes I see
The distant flicker of a memory
Then I hear the turning of keys and
Then I fall down on my knees and
Then I know we both know the reason
Why we’re here
Chorus
When we open up the door and stare out, blinded by the sun
Will we revel in our triumph or atone for what we’ve done?
When our vision clears will you recall the world that I once knew
Or is it all some fairy tale to you?
My life, my friends, my work, my family
Becoming nothing now but history
Won’t resist when they come to kill me
For the dark future that will be
For I know that I am guilty
Of it all
Chorus (last line 3x)
