Second Life

When my fire's going out
And I want you to be near me
As my world comes falling down
And I'm reaching for a hold

I can feel the edges burn
And the flames are getting closer
And I know it won't be long
'Til I ruin it for all

But I'm not here to say goodbye
Just commencing second life
Cut the crop when it is ripe

Walk in circles with the dead
Playing reruns in my head
Fragments of what you have said

I can hear the children's 'why?'
Like an echo from the future
I can taste a bitter sense
That I wasted it away

There are still some rations left
And a way to get around it
But I'm afraid it's been too long
Since I utilized my heart

But I'm not here to say goodbye
Just commencing second life
Cut the crop when it is ripe

Walk in circles with the dead
Playing reruns in my head
Fragments of what you have said

And I know it isn't right
But I can't fail another time
Made a lie and made alive

And I know it won't be long
But I can save another song
Maybe somewhere in your head

When my fire's going out
Well, I want you to be near me
When my fire's going out
Well, I want you to be near me

(I would be safe, would be safe, from my...)

(I would be safe, would be safe from myself)
