Pierce The Veil Lyrics

Listen, do you hear my heart beat thump over the monitors?
As I look for a way out of this confusing and dangerous place, I can hear the sound of my own heartbeat thumping loudly in my chest, creating a sense of urgency and nervousness.

You pretend to close your eyes
As my partner and I attempt to escape this perilous situation, they try to seem calm and collected by pretending to close their eyes and block out the chaos around us.

Don't breathe in
I warn my partner not to inhale the strange, unknown substances that fill the air around us, as such an action could be harmful or even fatal.

Pieces of candy and leaks of light (leaks of light)
In the midst of the danger and confusion, I can see small glimmers of hope and beauty - such as the colorful pieces of candy and beams of light that stand out amidst the darkness and chaos.

Paint the floor 'round me
The colors and lights that surround me begin to blur together, creating a dizzying and trippy effect that makes it difficult to distinguish one object from another.

Then without hesitating (hesitating)
Despite the confusion and danger that surrounds us, my partner and I move forward without hesitation or fear, determined to find a way out and escape our current predicament.

You took my hand and then we both started running
In a moment of fear and desperation, my partner takes my hand and we begin to run together, both fueled by a shared sense of urgency and terror.

There's no place to go
Despite our frantic running, we soon realize that we are trapped with nowhere to go - no escape route or exit that will lead us to safety.

Another bullet and we both started running
As gunfire erupts around us, my partner and I take off running yet again, desperate to avoid getting hit and to find a way out of this dangerous situation.

Save yourself, don't ever look back
In the face of danger and uncertainty, I urge my partner to prioritize their own safety and well-being, encouraging them not to linger or hesitate and to keep moving forward at all costs.

Nowhere to go and so we both spin around in circles
Despite our best efforts, we find ourselves trapped in the same spot, spinning aimlessly in circles as we try to figure out a way forward and avoid danger.

Creeping through these labyrinths I find another dead end to the weekend
As I navigate through this confusing and dangerous place, I feel like I'm stuck in an endless cycle of dead ends and disappointments, unable to find a clear path forward.

But is this real life?
As the chaos and confusion around me intensifies, I begin to wonder if what is happening is actually real, or if it's all just a nightmare from which I can't seem to wake up.

Paper hearts turned ash begin to fly over our heads
In the midst of the danger and confusion, I see the remains of what was once beautiful and fragile - paper hearts turned to ash - floating above us and reminding me of what we have lost.

I begin screaming while the exit signs read heaven's waiting
As I become increasingly panicked and desperate, I begin to scream for help and guidance - but the only signs I see lead to heaven, reminding me that death and danger may be waiting for us at every turn.

And I said, hey, what's on your mind?
In a moment of calm amidst the chaos, I turn to my partner and ask them what they are thinking, hoping to find some semblance of comfort or connection amidst the danger surrounding us.

I think about my life without you and I start to cry
As I imagine a world without my partner, I am overcome with fear and sadness, realizing how much I depend on them and how much they mean to me in the face of danger.

We'll make it
Despite the overwhelming odds against us, I reassure my partner that we will survive and find a way out of our current predicament, believing in our shared strength and determination to persevere.

I love you and I'll never leave your side
In a moment of vulnerability and honesty, I express my deep love and commitment to my partner, promising to stay by their side no matter what dangers or obstacles may come our way.

Oh
A brief moment of silence or reflection, as I try to gather my thoughts and emotions amidst the chaos and danger surrounding us.

Circles
A simple yet powerful declaration that we are trapped in a vicious cycle of danger and uncertainty, never able to escape or find a way out of the labyrinth in which we find ourselves.
