Distant voice, give me your hand tonight

2:30 AM and I’ve lost all lines of sight

I’m losing power and the basic will to live

Tell the family that I gave all I had to give

Switch to backups and the problem persists the same

Pass the bottle now, rather than the blame

2:30 AM and I’ve lost all lines of sight

Try to place yourself somewhere in my mind

And this is all I see the pale light in my eyes

The broken surface plains the forest in the night

The ground rise up to meet my moment of descent

The lights are dimmer now, these moments never last, oh no no

My mind is racing with regrets of days gone by

Of distant places I’d go when the time was right

Snap back to present and shake away the haze

My fall from orbit can no longer be contained

Ever closer in these moments of descent

The controls are slipping now, from my shaking hands

2:30 AM and I just had to laugh

My life had meaning, there’s no way to make it last

And this is all I see the pale light in my eyes

The broken surface plains the forest in the night

The ground rise up to meet my moment of descent

The lights are dimmer now, these moments never last, oh no no

Seconds, minutes turn to hours in the end

Drift through life without ever a single plan

In the end, we are what we leave behind

Photos, books, and dreams never realised

What’s the legacy that I leave behind

An empty bottle or a fool with a stubborn pride

I think I’ll smile when I finally reach the end

Knowing I left this world just a better man

And this is all I see the pale light in my eyes

The broken surface plains the forest in the night

The ground rise up to meet my moment of descent

The lights are dimmer now, these moments never last, oh no no
