lyrics

After the initial doubt wears thin
Left hoping for a way inside
Something that will draw your eyes
Still scared of the inevitable loss
But coming to terms with fear
Is nothing to fear
Out of light, but not out of time
We can still make this

Faking mixed metaphors with you
Nothing better I'd rather do
Still hoping there's enough time to prove
And enough hope left to lose

After the dismissal comes despair
Melting into total waste
Not enough cuts to paste
Have to keep reminding myself
That the fall can heal
What others steal
Out of light but not out of time
We can still make this

I'm not waiting for your life
I'm not burning out, I'm burning bright
I'm diseased, but aren't we all?
So take a chance or don't, I won't die
