A Gradient Into Nonexistence

Collecting dust
Waiting for the light to turn upon itself again
Sitting here believing it could happen
How long would I let this continue on
Until we let it fade out
The last reception
No longer letting in the time
A lasting cigarette now burning out
Clinging to the night
How could we let this happen
How far could anyone allow this to go on
Becoming the one thing
Breathe out
The final action
No longer letting in the time
A lasting cigarette now burning out
Holding on
Awaken for love
But not your own
A life that you never thought you'd know
Wake up
The world is broken
My life
Everything that I thought I was
Reset the person you thought you could never be
Dead to me

Fade out
The last reception
No longer letting in the time
A lasting cigarette now burning out
Holding on

And we might not have tomorrow
But we won't last for today
If this is the end of it
Then I won't say
If you think this is evil
Then I won't beg you to stay
But don't question why you won't
When you watch me fade

Fade out
The last reception
No longer letting in the time
A lasting cigarette now burning out

Clinging to the night one last time
Becoming
Awaken for love
But not your own
A life that you never thought you'd know
An eye for an eye won't make us whole
You'd think that they would know it
If they could see at all
Floating in a dreary world
Waiting for it to all make sense again

Fade out
The last reception
No longer letting in the time
A lasting cigarette now burning out
Dancing in our eyes
How could we let this happen
How far could we let this go on
Is this the life we're doomed to live
Holding on
