I CAN SEE THE LIGHT

A hurricane's howling through my head
Tearing up the trees and leaving desert plains behind
Yeah, stormclouds are brewing in my mind

I can see we're at the end of the line
Girl, you're playing for time
You've got blood on your hands
And I don't know if it's yours or if it's mine

I can see the light, I can see the light
I can see the light, I can see the light
It shines so brightly as the walls close in on me

And as the seconds tick past
Every breath seems like the last
But honey, I'm not afraid
All stories come to a close
That's just the way that it goes
The light is fading as we play this final scene

I can see we're actors playing a part
We were doomed from the start
Hung down from the ceiling
The wires moving to an unheard melody

I can see the light, I can see the light
I can see the light, I can see the light
It shines as we act out this tragedy

And as the seconds tick past
Every breath seems like the last
But honey, I'm not afraid
All stories come to a close
That's just the way that it goes
The curtain falls and it's time for us to leave

This world wasn't meant for you or me
