Wait here in this desperate, fleeting time
The consequences soon will all rush in
Caught between the walls of wanting and my worst desires
The baddest traits I've said are wearing thin
Again
Time has never been a friend my love
A lonely thief that robs our hopes and dreams
Side by side we linger pleading for another night
On a battlefield where the path to love is dark
And maybe this is what I've been missing
And maybe this is what I want
Let me burn this tattered picture, faded from lost time
That perfect thing has always been a lie
This light emanating from you exposing what is true
Illuminates the path where I'll be free
Your afterglow
I will stay with you in the afterglow
