Distant voice, give me your hand tonight 2:30 AM and I've lost all lines of sight I'm losing power and the basic will to live Tell the family that I gave all I had to give
Switch to backups and the problem persists the same Pass the bottle now, rather than the blame 2:30 AM and I've lost all lines of sight Try to place yourself somewhere in my mind
And this is all I see the pale light in my eyes The broken surface plains the forest in the night The ground rise up to meet my moment of descent The lights are dimmer now, these moments never last, oh no no
My mind is racing with regrets of days gone by Of distant places I'd go when the time was right Snap back to present and shake away the haze My fall from orbit can no longer be contained Ever closer in these moments of descent The controls are slipping now, from my shaking hands 2:30 AM and I just had to laugh My life had meaning, there's no way to make it last
And this is all I see the pale light in my eyes The broken surface plains the forest in the night The ground rise up to meet my moment of descent The lights are dimmer now, these moments never last, oh no no
Seconds, minutes turn to hours in the end Drift through life without ever a single plan In the end, we are what we leave behind Photos, books, and dreams never realised
What's the legacy that I leave behind An empty bottle or a fool with a stubborn pride I think I'll smile when I finally reach the end Knowing I left this world just as a better man
And this is all I see the pale light in my eyes The broken surface plains the forest in the night The ground rise up to meet my moment of descent The lights are dimmer now, these moments never last, oh no no
Grab and grind, for your life These nails need sharpened Borrowed your treasured hammer and brought it down Borrowed your cherished heart and brought it down
These hands and that mouth One less breath we needn't worry about Distorted frames and fracture and leak Distorted view and voice and now we'll see
Came with light Found one brighter, blinded and bitten
Grab and grind, for your life These hands need stretching Borrowed your treasured hammer and brought it down Borrowed your cherished heart and brought it down
How we miss what's obvious One less worry we needn't bother Distorted frames, and fracture and leak Distorted view and voice, and how we'll see
The excuses are on display, and come from me And I wonder why I should believe all the things that you say Regrets and incidents, why not blame me Rather than accept the role that you just played for yourself
And all my dreams, they crumble to the floor now Wasted time, wasted
I suggest that you see this through, and don't delay The glaring facts that you chose to ignore today That you created all the drama here, why don't you see That you've slipped since you were just a part of me
And all my dreams, they crumble to the floor now Wasted time
And all my words, they cloud the waters of your thoughts How about mine, how about
I've seen this all before, state all my crimes And change the truth to lies, it's so noble to know you're right. And in a darkened room you wait for my calls to come All hail the genius fool who lies awake to scream
And all my dreams, they crumble to the floor now Wasted time
And all my deeds, glass that's shattered pieces Of long lost time, long lost
