Pull me closer to the sun
Until the armor melts away
Into your twilight
Now I know just what it's like
To see the world through your eyes
And how fast you use it up
All that human clay keeps reaching for your frame
Until it fills
All the cracks inside you
I can't understand it when you say
Their colors are so bright
And then they dim and you're on the ground
And when your consciousness comes back
Spitting up and calling out
There will be no shadows
Over you
And you'll scream:
What have I done; With my life
Give it all back; It's over
Won't be enough; To save me
What a tragedy!
And I will give it all up
Give it all up; So you could
Give me a chance; To hold you
Won't be enough; Won't be enough to save me
What a tragedy!
Now you're up and running from yourself
As the streetlights flash ahead
But they will lead you nowhere
Feel the skin starting to burn away
As your internals beg to stay
But you speed up anyway
All the strings you're tied to
Are pulling so much harder than before
But you can't cut through them
Even if you broke free
The shock would tear you apart
But you're way past caring now
Glowing frozen in that light
All your features so laid out
There'll be no shadows over you
As the twilight fades to black
