An empire is slowly taking hold With a foundation spreading like an open soul And bleeding over all the wrongs And reconfiguring the things I've known So get in line or step aside Like you stepped away and out from mine I've been dying to tell you I've been alive since you fell through Motion: Well it's all I know If you can't move forward then I can let go Focus: It's our only hope I've been dying for it since the day I learned to grow A fading out and drifting off And some convoluted reasoning of loss Because change is not an alibi Just a poor excuse and reason why I've been dying to tell you... Fate is slipping from your arms I see the one I saved But it doesn't look anything like I thought Strange that you should cast me off Like a cape and feign A curtain closing a scene to be lost
