ten years, pathway down the road
we'll never do exactly what we're told
heartbeat thru the emptiness of space
was today just a waste
streetlights glowing until dawn
firepower brighter than the sun
even though it's just a needless day
now it's gone
and i can't even say
what could happen next
the film goes on
even without us in the lead
or supporting cast
let's hope there was enough time
to do our best
silhouette thru a vacant eye
starbeams ignited thru the sky
a single chair within an empty room
full of shadows and gloom
sit back and watch the night awhile
find the light to invigorate your smile
it glows better than any setting sun
indeed i know we're one
and we all just fade away
like embers out of time
we feel the chill
of a thousand wasted breaths
and washed out bliss
we know there was enough time
to pull down the day
capture a glimpse of life's replay
to float, to swing, to sway
tidal wave crashes thru the night
memory holds truer than our sight
if this be the last day we ever have
close our eyes and drift into the crash
we'll see
that we can't even say
where we go from here
that life is long
and the pathway divides
into so many roads
we know we'll do our best
to walk them all
daybreak fades so quickly into night
take my hand, i know we'll be alright
