A Graceful Retreat

It’s late at night
And I can’t close my eyes
I’m starting to notice things
That I shouldn’t have
And I’m awake
My dream starts to incinerate
All hope starts to disintegrate
And I can’t live like this
Am I the only one?
I think I’m falling
I’m slowly slipping now
I hear it calling
The line is slowly fading
Well, it was all in my head
What’s left of me
Is broken into pieces
And I’m awake
My dream starts to incinerate
All hope starts to disintegrate
And I can’t live like this
I know that it is
Just an act as we all are
I know that you will
Stay until the credits roll
But do we get to know
Who pulled the plug and lived
I know that sometimes
Things would come undone
I know that by now
Every chance is ours to take
I’m leaving it all behind
Taking my chances one at a time
I know that it is
Just an act as we all are
I know that you will
Stay until the credits roll
But do we get to know
Who pulled the plug and lived
I know that sometimes
Things would come undone
I know that by now
Every chance is ours to take
I’m leaving it all behind
Taking my chances one at a time
Staring the ocean just passing up time
Feet in the water, forget what was mine
Wishers and takers, now please get in line
I’m secretly dying just to live out the night
