It's a long time
Until there's a chance to deal
And such a long time
Since I've been cut from this feeling
It was our time
To escape the world, unreal it
And I've no time
To preserve, replay, or seal it
'Cause the ending isn't chaptered
Suddenly it's ever after
And there is no tempered pause
Between dread, sorrow, and laughter
When it's over
There's no time for song and dance
Try to look back
It's a momentary glance
Such a long time
It's a long, long time
And the time
Isn't ending
It's just
Here
And it's sending
Memories for free
That end up
Tautologies to me
Till it's over
But it's
Starting
