Atlas: Touch

Atlas: Touch - Sleeping At Last

When will I feel this

As vivid as it truly is

Fall in love in a single touch

And fall apart when it hurts too much

Can we skip past near-death clichés

Where my heart restarts as my life replays

All I want is to flip a switch

Before something breaks that cannot be fixed

I know I know-the sirens sound

Just before the walls come down

Pain is a well-intentioned weatherman

Predicting God as best he can

But God I want to feel again

Rain or shine I don't feel a thing

Just some information upon my skin

I miss the subtle aches when the weather changed

The barometric pressure we always blamed

All I want is to flip a switch

Before something breaks that cannot be fixed

Invisible machinery

These moving parts inside of me

Well they've been shutting down for quite some time

Leaving only rust behind

Well I know I know-the sirens sound

Just before the walls come down

Pain is a well-intentioned weatherman

Predicting God as best he can

But God I want to feel again

Oh God I want to feel again

Down my arms a thousand satellites

Suddenly discover signs of life
