A man begins to walk towards the horizon
Counting up the debt that he has put himself through
Calls everyone he knows, says goodbye to friends and me and you

White little lies that were fine keep us going
Too much time in our eyes to make right
What we know is wrong

A man carves two initials into maple
Hoping they will spark up all the things he wish he'd feel
These trees have no idea what they're in for, 'cause fire feels so real

White little lies that in time they'll stop running
Too much time in our eyes to hold tight
The warmth that we need

Here's what to say to the love that you want
When they're gone
You're always wrong
The time we spent together when the light was out became my thought of you
Oh, it's way too dark to read in here, this fairytale just ain't coming true

A man is lying dying on the side walk
Tracing down the edges of his tarnished wedding ring
The cardboard sign in front of him says
Change won't change a thing

Why even try getting by when you're hopeless?
All the time passing by will never lie
It's the choice that we make

So here's what to say to the God that you trust
When it's time, there's always time
The fire that's inside me died, the only light I had left back to you
Oh, it's way too cold to breath in here; I'm trying, but this body just won't do
