Lyrics for Dead Point

No turning back I follow the path and see that it leads me much further in The wood seems to wait, holding its breath like it's afraid If you can run, you better be really still There in the shade A dark figure stands, it can't be a man As still as a rock, I can't look away, no breath escapes A move of his head, he lifts up his gaze, a universe in his eyes This cannot be real A figment of my mind Frightened to look, can't look away This is not from my mind made Caught in between Two bits of a heart held in the dead point Now I am seen, the cold at the core exposed to the heat Try to break free, this close to danger is when I feel most alive How can this be wrong? (I knew he's the sharpest of blades) A gaze I cannot break (a gaze I cannot break now) You reach out a hand (I am alone) What choice do I have? (What choice do I have?) Ah, ah Na, na, na, ah The walls I have built Can't keep you out, but stop me from getting free Diving deep (diving deep), abandoning reason, break apart inner How can this be wrong? (Why can't this go on?) Why can't this go on and on?
