The Line

She was the first one to go
I'll be back for you, the final words she spoke
He was the second one to leave
Whispered, don't you worry

Because time is a warm dark circle
Day is returned to the looping of the line
Night is only a passing thing
We'll be back again when it's right

So I take it casually now
Got a new lease on the light
I quit my job, I don't put fires out
It's not the way to save a life

Oh, I stripped my body
Of the hurt locker kind
I quit the ticking and
The clipping of the wires
I no longer clock the time

'Cause it's all just a long dark circle
Day is returned to the looping of the line
Night is only a passing thing
We'll be back again sometime

So I'm off, well I'm sailing out
Gotta find some better light
You track the wake, and you'll find what I'm about
I'll be back when it's right

Well, I stripped my body
Of all that made it mine
Quit the slipping on the fingers of the dial
I no longer take up time

'Cause it's all just a long dark circle
Day is return to the looping of the line
Dying is only a passing thing
We'll be back again sometime
We'll be back again when it's right
