A Thousand Days

Do you see them?

All who have gone before us

They stare from above, open arms

But I don't think that I'm ready

To let this world slip away

When I return

To the Earth

I will catch my breath

Lay my head on the cold, calm ground beneath me

And rest my eyes for a thousand days

Until the end of time

I have stared deep into the abyss

Its embrace next to mine, exiled from this life

I can see it, I can taste it

I will never touch its skin

Until the end

I can feel life's bitter end

Climbing up my spine like the cold

Sinking deep into my skin

Pull me into that black hole

Until the end of time

Do you hear them?

All who have gone before us

Their voices echo

But I don't think that I am ready

Do you see them?

They stare from above

But I don't think that I'm ready

To watch this world slip away

I can feel life's bitter end

Climbing up my spine like the cold

Sinking deep into my skin

Pull me into that black hole

I can feel life's bitter end

Rising right along with the sun

Sinking deep into my skin

It seems like life had just begun

As the days pass

I feel the end

As the days pass

I feel the end

Mother, will I breathe again?

Again?

When I return

To the Earth

I will catch my breath

Lay my head on the cold, calm ground beneath me

And rest my eyes for a thousand days
