Both Ends of the Rope

It felts a lot like we were pacing
Like a loss of sanity, among other things
Like almost anything, was just a matter of time
So much more than four walls encasing
That cage before this stage was just a matter of time

I remember the way your face lifted
When it came to light all the things you might see
You and I, we were counting down the days til it kicked in
We were ready to leave

Freedom found in the feeling of gaining ground when
All you've known has become so stagnant

Eyes forward

A road lay out ahead of us
An obsession was taking hold
Reliant on blind faith
Desperate to break the mould

The sound of timelines colliding
The sight of spirits picking up
The synchronised rise and fall of us

The guiding light of times gone by
Giving way to a different shade
A pitch black disease of the mind

We picked apart the reasoning
Pulling the thread at the seams of this
It seemed as though the end was creeping closer
We chose to make the most of it
If all we had was a chance
Strong enough to make this last
Long enough to feel something more

Defiance will guide us

You and I
No longer counting down the days til it kicks in
