[Verse 1]
Irreversible
A sequence of events
Unfolding in reverse
A sting better stimulated
When revealing tragedy first
Reverse perception reversing imperfection
Be aware of the darkness that lies
Beneath the surface of contrived pleasantries
Be aware so as to always hold tighter; speak softer
There is no failsafe
So now you know
There is no failsafe
So cut ties
With the dead weight that is dragging you below

[Chorus]
Pull me closer
When silence consumes you, I'll speak words softer
Sinking slower, we stimulate the sting
Restrain

I'm not giving up
I'm giving in to the touch
Of every inch of your sea salt skin
But you set me ablaze
And spread me out with waves in the ocean
With every trace of doubt
Black me out
Don't stimulate the sting
Don't let the wrong choices repeat themselves
Don't stimulate the sting of irreversible emptiness
Pull me in close
Pull me in close

It's in the empty spaces
That we find ourselves
It's in the empty spaces
Reaching out and grasping
Searching for what we need to find who we are
(Who we are)

There is no failsafe
It's what keeps me hanging on
To what you are to me
You're what keeps me hanging on
I'm not giving up, I'm giving in
So let's begin again
(Let's begin again)

[Chorus]
Pull me closer
When silence consumes you, I'll speak words softer
Sinking slower, we stimulate the sting
Restrain

Pulling you closer ‘cause after all, you're pulling back farther
And we're sinking slower
We stimulate the sting
Restrain

Don't turn your back on her
Let her look you right in the eyes, you coward

Don't stimulate the sting
Don't let the wrong choices repeat themselves
Don't stimulate the sting of irreversible emptiness
