An empire is slowly taking hold
With a foundation spreading like an open soul
And bleeding over all the wrongs
And reconfiguring the things I've known
So get in line or step aside
Like you stepped away and out from mine
I've been dying to tell you
I've been alive since you fell through

Motion: Well it's all I know
If you can't move forward then I can let go
Focus: It's our only hope
I've been dying for it since the day I learned to grow

A fading out and drifting off
And some convoluted reasoning of loss
Because change is not an alibi
Just a poor excuse and reason why
I've been dying to tell you...

Fate is slipping from your arms
I see the one I saved
But it doesn't look anything like I thought

Strange that you should cast me off
Like a cape and feign
A curtain closing a scene to be lost
