About

My impression is of a young couple that has lost a child to illness or accident. I can see the speaker sitting on the edge of the bed in the early morning, head in hands, helpless and desperate.

The image is inspired by the distorted melody of the intro and the samples of children laughing at the e...

Moments Before Dawn Lyrics

[Verse 1: Alex Varkatzas]
The falling's out, but we'd be back
Like a gunshot that may have hurt less
Than the words I caught in the chest as your body rot
I tried to catch you but in truth my heart dropped

[Pre-Chorus: Alex Varkatzas]
I fall through the floor
Hell can hurt like this

[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
All the things I'll never say, the way it never plays (Never plays)
Out the way I see it in my head
The pain, the way it haunts me lingering for days (Lingering)
No funeral for what it could have been

[Verse 2: Alex Varkatzas & Brandon Saller]
Paralyzed again, engaged on the auto pilot
We can fight it but it's hard to hide it
Trying to deny the loss
Trying to hide the fact that
I haven't slept for days
(I haven't slept for days)
And you won't stop crying
(And you won't stop crying)
These moments before dawn
I'd rather be dying

[Pre-Chorus: Alex Varkatzas]
I fall through the floor
Hell can hurt like this

[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
All the things I'll never say, the way it never plays (Never plays)
Out the way I see it in my head
The pain, the way it haunts me lingering for days (Lingering)
No funeral for what it could have been

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
All the things I'll never say, the way it never plays (Never plays)
Out the way I see it in my head
The pain, the way it haunts me lingering for days (Lingering)
No funeral for what it could have been

[Outro: Alex Varkatzas]
I haven't slept for days
And you won't stop crying
These moments before dawn
Feel just like dying
But what do I know
I'm still here, broken and alone with my fears
