watched it slip away Excessive flash points, beyond all reach Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep Let's take a ride out, see what we can find Valueless collection of hopes and past desires I never realized the lengths I'd have to go All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know Just for one moment -
