A Drawn Out Exit

So burn the trail and keep the flames alight

Before the end appears inside the haze

Bare the shadow cast from journey's end

The final curtain falls, there's nothing there

Without a trace

We lie in wait again

You lost the will to feel

And take the highs and lows for granted

Or am I wasting all my time when I know this is different?

I know, I know, I know

Far away and out of our reach

Our broken ways abandoned long ago

Freed inside the walls of your design

Non-conforming, wavering alone

A drawn out

Exit from the norm

You lost the will to feel

And take the highs and lows for granted

Is this wasted on the numb knowing this won't make a difference?

I know, I know, I know

Is there bliss in resisting

The fortune of feelings we hold?

The sharp edges that determine our shape

The scars that now expose the pain

Our broken bodies speak of triumph

Our face reveals what should be known

Yet, you burn the trail

Burn

You lost the will to feel

And take the highs and lows for granted

Or am I wasting all my time when I know this is different?

I know, I know, I know
