The Parting Gift (The Last Transmission)

There comes a time
When the line between the things you want
And what you need
They start to blur
And you begin to bleed
Your mind tries to focus
And you start to think
Think of a way
To stay where you've been
When you know that you must leave
No amount of finagling gets you what you really want
The outcome
You're left with what you need
When it's time for what comes next
We'll lift the weight from off your chest
Shoulder the burden of the rest
We all have felt the walls start closing in
The sands of time fill up the space bury us
We chose to live inside this hour glass
Turn over to relive the past repeat
But somewhere deep
We knew that there would come a day
To shatter the glass and walk away
To test our faith
See if our lives would go astray
Could it ever be the same

We've spent our lives inside these wooden frames
Never breaking the chains that kept us all safe
It doesn't matter if the time or place ever needs to change
We're never far away

Nothing prepares you for the end result
No amount of words subdues your fears the cost
The possibility of losing all you've built
And everyone that you've held dear
I know it's hard but understand
Our love transcends the boundaries of space and times consent
The things you've felt
We've all been there
Always until the end

We've spent our lives inside these picture frames
Never breaking the chains that kept us all safe
It doesn't matter if the time or place ever needs to change
We're never far away

When you're sitting there
In your rocking chair
Sipping your lemonade
Taking a hike out in the forest
Tending crops
Pulling the harvest
Or just playing pond hockey
Remember we're always there
Don't you drown in your
Our memories those memories
They'll keep you warm at night just
Don't you drown in your
Our memories those memories
Keep them locked up tight just
Don't you drown in your
Our memories those memories
Got to keep moving forward now
Don't you drown in your
