lyrics

What if I took a trip and all I had were these strings and these dreams, would I come back again?

And what if this whole world has all been a dream, and you wake up to learn that it’s all make-believe, would you scream... again?

And I see myself in a thousand years
And I hear myself in everyone’s ears
And I remember when I was here... again

So I close my eyes, I pretend that I’m flying. I’m somewhere else in my mind and I find myself hiding from myself again.

When everything’s changed in the blink of an eye and you die, and you die, and you die, and you die… again.

And I see myself in a thousand years
And I hear myself in everyone’s ears
And I remember when I was here... again

In the year 3,000...
(What if I was here again?)
Do you remember when?
(What if I was here again?)
In the third dimension...
(What if I was here again?)
Will you remember then?
(What if I was here again?)
(I bet they’ll mention me in the next century.)

Die, die, die...
And you die...
