Take me down to the river bend
Take me down to the fighting end
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again
Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens sing
Warm me up in a nova’s glow
And drop me down to the dream below
Bring me home in a blinding dream
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
And show me how to be whole again
Like shining oil this night is dripping down
Stars are slipping down, glistening
And I’m trying not to think what I’m leaving now
No deceiving now
It’s time you let me know
Let me know
When the lights go out and we open our eyes
Out there in the silence, I’ll be gone
Let the sun fade out and another one rise
Climbing through tomorrow, I’ll be gone
This air between us is getting thinner now
Into winter now, bittersweet
And ‘cross that horizon this sun is setting down
You’re forgetting now
It’s time you let me go
Let me go
When the lights go out and we open our eyes
Out there in the silence, I’ll be gone
Let the sun fade out and another one rise
Climbing through tomorrow, I’ll be gone
And tell them I couldn’t help myself
And tell them I was alone
Oh, tell me I am the only one
And there’s nothing that can stop me
I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone
The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn’t find
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know
We’re building it up
To break it back down
We’re building it up
To burn it down
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground
The colors conflicted
As the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this
But couldn’t stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know
We’re building it up
To break it back down
We’re building it up
To burn it down
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground
Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for paths left alone
‘Cause beyond every bend
Is a long blinding end
It’s the worst kind of pain I’ve known
Give up your heart left broken
And let that mistake pass on
‘Cause the love that you lost
Wasn’t worth what it cost
And in time you’ll be glad it’s gone
Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for sights unseen
May your love never end
And if you need a friend
There’s a seat here alongside me
wasted
