Short Fuses Burn Long Bridges

Just close your eyes when it’s too far to see

And only take the things that you will need

The dust is thick, the air is hard to breathe

The sun shines gray through all the broken trees

And it’s so far

It’s so far away

Hold your temper

What we need

Is to find another way

Another way to hold the line

Turn on the gas and close the windows tight

I need to find a way to sleep tonight

If tomorrow never comes then that’s just fine

Because at least I won’t be wasting time

Half awake and half alive

We stumble to the flowing line

These things that call me from inside

They crush my faith in going blind

Is this all real or in my mind?

(Call my name, don’t fall away)

Or taking place another time?

(Don’t be scared of these things we fear)

Another day, another year

(Stay awake, don’t fall asleep)

Don’t think I could help it

(I am here forever)

It’s not too late for things to change

It’s not too long for us to wait

It’s not too hard to hold your breath

I’m not strong enough to keep lying to myself
