Its got a big cool synthetic keyboard, you know, moog plus we used like 5 keyboards to make that sound. I really like that song because I feel like it's different sounding and I kind of been falling in love with a lot of old analog gear for the last couple of years. So it was fun to get to use those things. | Its got a big cool synthetic keyboard, you know, moog plus we used like 5 keyboards to make that sound.

Lyrics
Don't wanna be the one to walk away
but I can't bear the thought of one more day
I think I finally understand what it means to be lost
Can't find the road to lead us out of this
a million miles from where we burned the bridge
Can't keep pretending everything's gonna be alright
with the whole world falling around me
Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
Fallen so far from where we were before
You'll never find what you’ve been searching for
Something to fill the void and make up for all of those missing pieces of you
Like I could only dream to do
Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
Everything that we believed in was a lie
Cross the oceans in your mind
Find a way to blur the line
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
And we never learn
so we fall down again
heaven help me find a way to dream within this nightmare
Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
Everything that we believed in was a lie
Cross the oceans in your mind
Find a way to blur the line
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
