Event Horizon

lyrics

It was you
who bounced between support and relentless attack
And now you
are desperately trying to bring me back
You're a miserable, joyless hole in the world
and you're anglin' to drag me down
I'm gettin' close, close, close, but I won't fall in
Past the event horizon

Try and crush my soul, and I'll tear you apart
Event horizon
It ain't my job to fix your broken heart
Event horizon
I know someday I'll get a brand new start
And though I need you now, might not be long

Before I'll finally be gone
Event horizon, I'll be gone

Yeah, it's you
who demanded a standard of perfect production
And it's you
who taught me self-hatred and so self-destruction
Your praise and your kindness is empty as hell
your cruelty and insults still worse!
You've pushed me far, far, far but I won't fall in
Past the event horizon

You say I'll find salvation if I come near
Event horizon
You say I'm being foolish, got nothing to fear
Event horizon
You claim to hold me so esteemed and dear
But if you love me so much, set me free!

Event horizon, let me be!
Event horizon, let me be!

And it's me
I'd already be gone if I were just a bit smarter
And it's me
Could already be gone if I worked a bit harder
Yeah that might be true, but all the same
ain't over yet and I've come so far
And I've come close, close, so close to bein' dead
But up 'til now I've managed to keep my head
So here's! four! words! for! you instead:

Event horizon so long!
Event horizon so long!
Event horizon so long!

Event horizon so long!
