What A Tragedy

Pull me closer to the sun

Until the armor melts away

Into your twilight

Now I know just what it's like

To see the world through your eyes

And how fast you use it up

All that human clay keeps reaching for your frame

Until it fills

All the cracks inside you

I can't understand it when you say

Their colors are so bright

And then they dim and you're on the ground

And when your consciousness comes back

Spitting up and calling out

There will be no shadows

Over you

And you'll scream:

What have I done; With my life

Give it all back; It's over

Won't be enough; To save me

What a tragedy!

And I will give it all up

Give it all up; So you could

Give me a chance; To hold you

Won't be enough; Won't be enough to save me

What a tragedy!

Now you're up and running from yourself

As the streetlights flash ahead

But they will lead you nowhere

Feel the skin starting to burn away

As your internals beg to stay

But you speed up anyway

All the strings you're tied to

Are pulling so much harder than before

But you can't cut through them

Even if you broke free

The shock would tear you apart

But you're way past caring now

Glowing frozen in that light

All your features so laid out

There'll be no shadows over you

As the twilight fades to black

You're not coming back
