The Line

She was the first one to go

I'll be back for you, the final words she spoke

He was the second one to leave

Whispered, don't you worry

Because time is a warm dark circle

Day is returned to the looping of the line

Night is only a passing thing

We'll be back again when it's right

So I take it casually now

Got a new lease on the light

I quit my job, I don't put fires out

It's not the way to save a life

Oh, I stripped my body

Of the hurt locker kind

I quit the ticking and

The clipping of the wires

I no longer clock the time

'Cause it's all just a long dark circle

Day is returned to the looping of the line

Night is only a passing thing

We'll be back again sometime

So I'm off, well I'm sailing out

Gotta find some better light

You track the wake, and you'll find what I'm about

I'll be back when it's right

Well, I stripped my body

Of all that made it mine

Quit the slipping on the fingers of the dial

I no longer take up time

'Cause it's all just a long dark circle

Day is return to the looping of the line

Dying is only a passing thing

We'll be back again sometime

We'll be back again when it's right
