about

Claude’s hallucinations become more and more spastic. He cannot control his mind, and his brain is working double time reliving horrible moments in his life. He remembers losing his fiance. He remembers getting her back. He remembers his sadness years after her death. He wants to die and join her.

lyrics

I waited by the sidewalk, and I found you staring down at me.
I looked up towards the sky and saw the sun falling down on us all,
And everything you loved had turned grey.

You went for me before I weighed all the possibilities,
and you lent your hand down unto me, and I refused violently.
No one wants you. They don’t need you. They’ll never take you away from me.

I came this far without you. I made it this far on my own.
I beat the dawn without you. I made it back here all alone. (X2)

And I wait for you to wait for me before you fall.
What you want is a way out.
Your self inflicted wounds won’t heal. Come down and wait for me.
