lyrics

Is this where the light fades out
Have you taken all that you can see?
Can you stand for what we’ve lost here
Or does it drive you mad like me?

Dancing in a circle
When timing wasn’t perfect
A copacetic pause for a promise kept
I’ve used my bookshelf as a trophy case
For lessons learned and purchased
But nothing in the text can paint the picture
As I’ve searched us for an answer
That grades out more than a cheap romancer

Is this where the light fades out
Have you taken all that you can see?
Can you stand for what we’ve lost here
Or does it drive you mad like me?

It couldn’t be enough to pour my thoughts out
Fair or not to put them on your shoulders
As “Recovery” filled the pauses in the air
I’ve made a lifetime of ignoring my own best advice
With nothing short tonight of full disclosure
As an escape device
Don’t press me for a reason why
Because you’re worth every goddamn second in my eyes

Is this where the light fades out
Have you taken all that you can see?
Can you stand for what we’ve lost here
Or does it drive you mad like me?

It’ll test me to the marrow in my bones
To leave without you
The last few weeks were like sleepwalking alone
But I’ll fade without you

Is this where the light fades out
Have you taken all that you can see?
Can you stand for what we’ve lost here
Or does it drive you mad like me?
