This Light Stays On

This is history writing itself all over*
This is it for me. I can’t forget. I can’t, I can’t.
And I won’t let go. Reach for the light.
I’ll break apart becoming nothing.
As the darkness grows, give me time to explain.
While we breathe in I poison myself.
We hang from the edge so close to the end.
This is history writing itself all over. This is it for me.
You’ll run till you die alone.
And now I fall to the ground.
Knowing that there’s nothing left. I fall to the ground.
Knowing that there’s nothing left inside.
I kiss the lips of this ghost.
This is the road we took, won’t let it go.
Locked in this place, cast in this plastic mold.
I see the cliff descend. I saw the road begin.
All that’s broken. All that’s gone under.
I saw the man commend. The fist defend. The path extend.
While we breathe in. I poison myself.
We hang on the edge so close to the end.
This is history writing itself all over.
This is it for me. Lock the door ill do this on my own.
I can’t forget. I won’t let go.
This light that burns through you.
You can’t see the light burning right in front of you.
