I arrive alive and to my demise it’s another sunny day
A dark and gray glass lottery a victorious dismay
I’m up all night inside my room just trying to ignore the unfortunate color of the sky I live under

I’m going I’m gone but I won’t stay for long.
I’m going I’m gone but I won’t stay for long.

The hand I drew had more cards in it than should have been dealt
But there’s a card completing everything that I have not yet held
Untie the lines and lives that hide beneath my broken smile
Cuz I can’t crack it anymore
Your eyes say stay but your stare says go away
So I will go you’re never going to see me again so I’m told

I’m going I’m gone but I won’t stay for long.
I’m going I’m gone but I won’t stay for long.

I’ve been listening to the memories from a long long time ago
Snapshots taken by my mind in time
But where were they last night?
When time in a picture arrived

I’m going I’m gone but I won’t stay for long.
I’m going I’m gone but I won’t stay for long.

Right nows the time to drive a million miles away
But I’ll be here in pictures
Right now the time to drive a million miles away
I’ll make it in my head.
