Running down a tunnel
I see the birds fly
Running down a tunnel
My mind's on overdrive
Running for the light
It's on the edge of sight
But draw closer and the light shall fade away

Living the high life
Freeloading and free of strife
Things never better
The beaches get wetter
as the tide draws in and I go home again.

Now life has you by the tail
Keep on top or face the fail
Live 'till ends bring us apart
and the funeral march will break our hearts

An empty shadow casts on us
Falling quick, we hit the dust
Then a new me rises up
The light now shines, blinding yet with love

As new beginnings set in stone
We can now rise from the prone
Emerging from hiding, from the world
We now see what has been hurled

The highs of life have faded away
Now the world will make us pay
Scared, alone, we will not stay
We'll go to a place to sit and pray

We is now I, and as you see
I am quite peachy, happy as can be
My tank is empty, and my eyed have grown dry
I cannot see, I cannot cry
Broken, but mended, all the same
I shall start my dreaded walk of shame

As the cracks begin to heal, and the light shines in
I know that I can take my win
Hypothetical nuke wipes my mind
I care no more for the bars that bind
You will find that I am quite fine.
