Prequel by New Haven Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I find it safe to say
As I walk down the stairs and the chandelier shakes
The guests are becoming quite concerned
With the minutes that are passing
But they should have learned, overhead
You can hear the roar
As the chandelier shatters the floor
But I fall, oh I fall, but I find I'm not lost at all
[Chorus]
Before I close my eyes, and drift away
I look back on my mistakes
And all those who lie awake with me
Losing our sanity, whatever it takes
Breathe in this moment as gravity breaks
It's time to find what truly lies within
So I'll just lie awake and watch the end of...
[Verse 2]
(Wait!) What do we have here?
Looking up and down but I'm still not clear
Deja Vu, you look like someone I've seen
But then I look into the mirror
And it's only me now
Wait! What do we have here?
Looking up and down but I'm still not clear
Deja Vu, you look like someone I've seen
But then I look into the mirror
And it's only me now
You're onto me, I clearly see
It's too easy for me to read
And every time you speak, it lets me
Know that you're still breathing
It never helps me though
Your words that always show
But I know you're just a dream
So I hold my head and scream
[Chorus]
Before I close my eyes, and drift away
I look back on my mistakes
And all those who lie awake with me
Losing our sanity, whatever it takes
Breathe in this moment as gravity breaks
It's time to find what truly lies within
So I'll just lie awake and watch the end of us
[Bridge]
Ladies and gentlemen, gather around
There's something you all need to know
I'll tip my hat to all the applause
After you see what I show
It seems, oh it seems to me, to me
That everyone has a secret they're keeping
But oh, how do I know, well maybe I don't
But keep listening
[Breakdown]
Destiny knocks on your door
Leaving you waiting for more
What more can you ask for than what?
What you have now
Than to be here in the end when the sky falls down
So I'll just lie awake and watch the end of us
[Outro]

Let's pray
I find it safe to say
As I walk down the stairs and the chandelier shakes
The guests are becoming quite concerned
With the minutes that are passing
But they should have learned, overhead
You can hear the roar
As the chandelier shatters the floor
But I fall, oh I fall, but I find I'm not lost at all
[Chorus]
Before I close my eyes, and drift away
I look back on my mistakes
And all those who lie awake with me
Losing our sanity, whatever it takes
Breathe in this moment as gravity breaks
It's time to find what truly lies within
So I'll just lie awake and watch the end of...
[Verse 2]
(Wait!) What do we have here?
Looking up and down but I'm still not clear
Deja Vu, you look like someone I've seen
But then I look into the mirror

Wait! What do we have here?
Looking up and down but I'm still not clear
Deja Vu, you look like someone I've seen
But then I look into the mirror
And it's only me now
You're onto me, I clearly see
It's too easy for me to read
And every time you speak, it lets me
