Catherine Corelli T-minus Lyrics

T-MINUS

VERSE 1:

Down the rabbit hole into the wishing well,
Down the consciousness into a new blood cell,
Down the barrel of a gun to a rebel,
Down the bullet holes into a warmer hell.
It’s T-minus seven seconds to the death of hope
And another seven inches to the end of the rope,
It’s a gap between what I had been
And what I turn into.

VERSE 2:

Through the synapse of an unexpected dream,
Through the memories that crawl right under my skin,
Through the burning, through the wavering within
To nowhere, to somewhere I had never been.
It’s T-minus seven breaths to what I know as you
And a single glance to what I thought was true,
I am right between my images
And what you turn into.

CHORUS 1:

I ride far and fast
Away from all my past
To a future I can’t meet
‘Cuz it’s a few seconds ahead
Through every curve it’s got me beat.

I drive to what I see,
Yet I don’t feel like I’m free.
There is hell close at my heels,
My past is a second behind,
My present right under my wheels.

[T-minus 8, T-minus 7, T-minus 6, T-minus 5,
T-minus 4, T-minus 3, T-minus 2, T-minus 1…]

VERSE 3:

Up the tunnels of my new mutating fright, Up the veins, through indiscretion to delight,
Through the dangers that I couldn’t leave behind,
From the killing depths to an undiscovered height.
It’s T-minus one illusion from me to you
And a single step to where I’m running to,
It’s the only way to stay ourselves
In spite of what we’re turning into.

CHORUS 2:

I ride far and fast
Away from all my past
To a future I can’t meet
‘Cuz it’s a few seconds ahead
Through every curve it’s got me beat.

I drive to what I see,
Yet I don’t feel like I’m free.
There is hell close at my heels,
My past is a second behind,
My present right under my wheels.

MIDDLE:

Are we dead?
Or we’re just condemned?
Are we at the end
Of the world that we both knew? [love]

CODA:

We ride fast and free
To where we’d never been,
To a future that we feel
Each time we inhale the air
To live it now and live it now for real.
[Catherine]
To live it now and live it now for real.

We’re not dead
And we’re not condemned,
A new world comes ahead,
The T-minus is over… x2
