| Once, long ago, you and I traced an outline
|
| A perforated edge and other details I can hardly bring to mind
|
| We saw, we saw it all clearly, we thought it, we thought it all in reach
|
| We faded and wasted ourselves, in dim light chasing highs
|
| And when it all fades, can you say it was worth the wait?
|
| When it’s hard to feel a thing and your vacant eyes keep saying
|
| Save yourself now 'cause I’m riding this out to the end
|
| And I don’t want no one around when I go down
|
| So save yourself now 'cause I’m riding this out to the end
|
| To the end
|
| Too high to keep climbing up, so I sit and stay
|
| Miles and miles away
|
| But don’t come to me with your placards and your common phrases
|
| I’m cutting our losses here, my friend, in a countdown to the end
|
| Still severing ties when even my silences seem to speak violence
|
| I’ve been building my cage, I’m going down with the ship, so loosen your grip
|
| Save yourself now 'cause I’m riding this out to the end
|
| And I don’t want no one around when I go down
|
| So save yourself now 'cause I’m riding this out to the end
|
| To the end
|
| Dropping off one by one, when you won’t stand to bend the bars
|
| We’re left screaming from the outside
|
| Show me a sign, show me a sign
|
| I’ll find a way, I’ll find a way
|
| Save yourself now 'cause I’m riding this out to the end
|
| And I don’t want no one around when I go down
|
| So save yourself now 'cause I’m riding this out to the end
|
| To the end
|
| So save yourself now 'cause I’m riding this out to the end
|
| And I don’t want no one around when I go down
|
| So save yourself now 'cause I’m riding this out to the end
|
| To the end… |
