Face first into the new day
The lights are shining more
Than they have ever gleamed before
Sweating swirling anxious as ever
The time it melts away
My nails grinding against floorboard
Pleading with it just to stay
My actions become what define me
I feel the pressure wearing me thin
Impatiently I'll await the day
When these tidal waves settle again

I wish that I had more time
And could be everywhere at once
My apologies for the distance
I've placed many miles between us
But the only thing I've come to get comfort in
Is the progression
Of this restless soul
Onward to a further destination
And yes the future
Thought it's dark from this perspective
When nothing ever will stay the same
And every dormant dream that I have imagined
Is brought to life but never as I planned
I want to drown in the daylight's radiance
Let the morning sun into my skin
And feel the calm again

If only from the bright beginning
We were conditioned for the end

I want to drown in the daylight's radiance
Let the morning sun into my skin
And feel the calm again

We've grown so self absorbed
As this life is ours, eternally
We've grown so accustomed to settling down
And day to day
But this city moves forward with or without me
And everyone I love they are fading away
Thought it seems as if I'm sure
As if I weighed everything
My decisions that are haunting me
And I cannot evade
All I've ever known is blackness
Now even blackness fades
If I am the creator what is this void that I have shaped
We always say, "I will be seeing you again."
But what if that day never comes
Then I'll be seeing you in the bitter end
But what if this life is all we're ever meant to become
I always seem to let my thoughts destroy me from the inside out
It's just a matter of time
