Dissolving from the inside
Vanishing with the high tide
I appreciate the slow ache
Coming from all that you confide

Have you ever really been aware
That I've always been right there?
I've come to find you're completely blind
To the fact that someone cares

Something inside has broken
The weight is just too much
My sanity is slipping away
And I'm falling out of touch

Now the line begins to blur
which side will I land on?
The line begins to blur
there's nothing left to stand on
And with the final moments
Replaying in my head
The line begins to blur
Until definition's dead

Tattered emotions hidden behind
A smile I always managed to find
Buried beneath the guilt and grief
Oh how blatantly I've lied

All my actions out of love?
It was only me I've been thinking of
Wanted no one to see that the real me
Was so different from the skin above

The surface has begun to crack
The weight is just too much
The facade is crumbling away
And I'm falling out of touch

Now the line begins to blur
which side will I land on?
The line begins to blur
there's nothing left to stand on
And with the final moments
Replaying in my head
The line begins to blur
Until definition's dead

I've never been even close to stable
Kept so many secrets under the table
I chose to refuse all the right views
To keep from being hit with a label

These scars are far below the surface
This mask has more than served it's purpose
I've come across as someone long lost
How long have I performed this service?

Something inside has broken
The weight is just too much
My sanity is slipping away
And I'm falling out of touch

Now the line begins to blur
Which side will I land on?
The line begins to blur
There's nothing left to stand on
And with the final moments
Replaying in my head
The line begins to blur
Until definition's dead

And now I'm falling
I've fallen and I can't get back up.

Other than the typical cliched responses of "wow, that's sooo great!" and "that roxrs!," I've got nothing. Well, except maybe a song lyric that you may recognize. And no, it didn't come to mind just cos it's playing on my iTunes right now.

Hello, little star
Are you doing fine?
I'm lonely as everything in birth

Sometimes in the dark
When I close my eyes
I dream of you, the planet earth

If I could fly across this night
Faster than the speed of light
I would spread these wings of mine

Through the years and far away
Far beyond the milky way
See the shine that never blinks
The shine that never fades

Thousand years and far away
Far beyond the silky way
You're the shine that never blinks
The shine that never dies

Hello, tiny star
Can you hear me call?
I'm so blind as everything at birth

If I could flow against these nights
Straighter than the string of light
I sould lay these hands on time

Through the years and far away
Far beyond the milky way
See the shine that never blinks
The shine that never fades

Thousand years and far away
Far beyond the silky way
You're the shine that never blinks
The shine that never dies

Through the years and far away
Far beyond the milky way
You're the shine that never blinks
The shine that never dies
