Текст песни All Will Know - Counting Stars

Оригинальный текст песни Counting Stars

As my thoughts collapsed with your world
it could have killed us well
Words – like slivers – turned into my brain
and I fell
While I tried to stop the ashes of our mourning
life’s slipping through my cold and yet anemic fingers

Roads we oughta know
– forgotten and unseen –
to places we will never reach
and those where we have been

A million miles away
a million miles apart
as echoes from the nether void
we tried to see the stars

Roads we oughta know –
forgotten and unseen

Who broke the stairway to our dream?
Now there’s this ever changing scheme
beneath our feet that makes us fall

The pillars of the hope we bore
are rotten deep down to the core –
Foreshadows to regret it all

We’re counting stars to keep us awake
If we could only reach their lights
to blind our fate
Counting stars to sort our minds
but then we lost control
as the world went blind

After all there’s not much left of all these precious

Things went wrong as we left the path
but we could never turn around
We have done things we won’t forget
behind our facades
They could be found, they could be locked
It cuts my thought, it knocks me off
Your shining eyes that turn to grey –
I fade away …

We’re counting stars to keep us awake
If we could only reach their lights
to blind our fate
Counting stars to sort our minds
but then we lost control
as the world went blind

We tried to lock ourselves down
in an oubliette made of our own…

Fragments of the future
shattering the past
Bonds we could not nurture
how long will they last?

How long?
How long will they last?

We’re counting stars to keep us awake
If we could only reach their lights
to blind our fate
Counting stars to sort our minds
but then we lost control
as the world went blind

And still we’re counting stars
we pray and plead
we feast on their lights to forget
this life is a disease –
to forget this life is a disease
