Description

The breakdown over time
Enough will be enough

You can't feel everything
There's more that we forget

Our parents die away
We never knew them well

They gave us to the world
They hungered for the truth

Our bodies will decay
Our passion will subside

Our gratitude remains
Your heart will bear the pain

Don't look into the light
The bathroom floor is cold

I saw it in your eyes
I saw it fall away

You told me what to see
You taught me how to die

I never asked your name
Before you went away

I don't know how you knew
I trust you all the same

I thank you for the end
I knew it was today

I finally understand
There was no other way:

Give everything you have
To leave the rest behind
