draw5

Light from the back of my eyes
Died, on arrival
Space where there shouldn’t be life

I find it vital
Run, go again, and then hide
A morbid cycle
Now here's the part where I change your mind

Next comes the way
That you think I should stay
Re-wired signals 'round your brain
Learned to speak in shortwave

All this is just to say
That I'm fading away
Oh, it seems I've dug my grave
As the crows fly away, they say

Always getting closer
The thing inside your head
Falls to another
Another lonely threat

And hope it's over
But then here comes the rest
Drawn to another death

So ill draw five
Put my life on the line
Find a way to feel alive
Scream "is this all that you've tried?"

The pain is coming, going
Time for my final reprise
Lines that seem to shatter minds
And as I fall out of time

The reaper shows and he picks five
Five lonely ways to die
Five seconds left of my time
Five other ways to make right

The smoke is filling, burning
Four measures left of this line
Three lonely days and two nights
One way to say my goodbye
But it can't hurt to try
