Accidental Light - Sleeping At Last

On your mark, get set…

A million miles past the finish line

My heels lift

At this imaginary starting line

The trigger slips;

My heart was racing well before it’s time

Time’s running out, it’s always running out on me

As the road up ahead disappears

Though it’s all been said

And this empty dictionary is all that’s left

I’ll try to change the world in a single word

My hands are shaking, ready or not

Invisible ink well it’s all i’ve got

So i’ll concentrate and pick from these barren trees

Time’s running out, it’s always running out on me

And every road i discover disappears under my feet —

Some call it reckless, some call it breathing

Have i said too much or not enough?

Is it overkill or is it giving up

To measure out the distance of an echo’s reach?

If it’s all broken mirrors and a chance roll of the dice

Then i’ll risk everything for a glimpse of accidental light

Time’s running out, it’s always running out on me

And every road i’ve discovered disappears under my feet —

Some call it reckless, i call it breathing
