Burning Out

it's not enough to hide the misdeeds
of our hearts behind the curtain
sweep the ashes of our future off the
deck and out to sea
the solution is the problem
without the end there is no meaning
and we didn't come this far to create
more self destruction

I don't expect that these eyes will
ever see the break of day
as more than just a sign that this
will fade away

aware of all the words behind the
curtain
knowing how we play "uncertain"
destroying light before the day
and turning this existence into ashes

I don't expect that these eyes will
ever see the break of day
as more than just a sign that this
will fade away
I don't expect to live that long
to see the proof that I was wrong
or hear the lies that everything's okay
and nothing fades away

I won't fade away
