Meltdown English Lyrics

The city lights all shine too bright against the chill of ether anesthesia
At two am, insomnia has taken me and things are changing rapidly
My stomach feels like a hundred degrees
Running low on fuel like a lighter without its oil
Oh, wouldn't I be relieved
If you could tell me that all of this had been lies

I had a dream that it was the midafternoon
I put my dirty hands round your neck and squeezed them tighter, tighter
And I watched as the pulse in your throat
Began to dwindle down till the tears filled my eyes

Take me to a reactor, cause I
I wanna dive into the core, I wanna try
Don't you think that the light engulfing you'd be beautiful?
Take me to a reactor, cause I
If I could dive into the core, then maybe I
would be forgiven and all my sins would be absolved from me

I hear the sound of footsteps running up the stairs and pass along the balcony
The cloudy sky drops darkness on the window panes, and shadows fall across the room

As twilight scatters the remaining day
The ruddy sun the color of eyes that had long been crying
Seems to be melting away
To leave the world alone in its gradual death

I had a dream that it was the middle of spring
I grabbed you by the neck while the curtains fluttered, dancing, dancing
All the words on your dry, broken lips
Spilled out and sounded in silent nothingnesses

Take me to a reactor, cause I
I wanna dive into the core, I wanna try
Don't you think that my memory would turn to white and disappear?
Take me to a reactor, cause I
If I could dive into the core, then maybe I
Would feel like I could fall into sleeping like I used to do

A ticking clock, TV shows, and invisible people's laughter are
Filling up all around me, and echoing inside my mind
Always surrounding me, and now are hounding me
Allegro agitate
The ringing sound in my ears just won't stop
Allegro agitate
The ringing sound in my ears just will not stop

I had a dream where everyone had disappeared
And in the dead of night all the quiet gripped me harder, harder
Closing in on my panicking neck
Till I could hardly breathe for the solitude

Take me to a reactor, cause I
I wanna dive into the core, I wanna try
Don't you think that I'd go away like drifting into sleep?
As the sun arises when I'm gone
Oh what a better sight it'd be, don't you think
When the morning that dawns can dawn without me

Without me, for sure, a perfect world
