A heart I swore was made of stone
Cracking under pressure
Watch the one that I love most
Wither to a stranger
Break me down to my bases
Draw lines in strange places
Use one of your precious final breaths
To say that you're proud of me
Do my best to keep that so
When you're high above me
Break me down to my bases
Draw lines in strange places
There's a sunrise
Past this nightmare
Just around the bend, its there
(A future yesterday, a distance right there)
[Aim at the sun
Not at the past
Don't break but bend, be there]
I know a tiny part of me
Believes I'll reach beyond this
Hold your hand and watch you breath
Are you even conscious?
I'm through
Please God just erase this
Draw lines in strange...
Spend the rest of my good years
Wishing you goodbye
Onward into that good night
May you see its light
Break me down to my bases
Draw lines in strange places
