Lifeline

The darkness, the silence

The fear that cuts into me

The danger, the promise

The desperate need to be free

And if I make it out alive I'll see you on the other side

Right now all we can do is just hold on

There's a lifeline reaching through the blackest night

There's a lifeline waiting for your final flight

There's a lifeline stretching to the edge of dawn

There's a lifeline telling you to just hold on

I sat there, I waited

Just counting stars and marking time

A moment, my one chance

Step forward, reaching for the line

And if I make it out alive I'll see you on the other side

But there's no time to think it through, so just hold on

There's a lifeline reaching through the blackest night

There's a lifeline waiting for your final flight

There's a lifeline stretching to the edge of dawn

There's a lifeline telling you to just hold on

They say it's perilous out there

But baby I don't even care

Better to die trying to fly than to stay here on the ground

Sensation, elation

A chill that cuts me to the bone

No time for misgivings

I'm soaring out to the unknown

And if I make it out alive I'll see you on the other side

But now there's nothing else to do but just hold on

There's a lifeline reaching through the blackest night

There's a lifeline waiting for your final flight

There's a lifeline stretching to the edge of dawn

There's a lifeline telling you to just hold on

There's a lifeline heading to another place

There's a lifeline flying through the dead of space

There's a lifeline coming that'll soon be gone

And it's coming for you, so just hold on
