it's not enough to hide the misdeeds of our hearts behind 
the curtain
sweep the ashes of our future off the deck and out to sea
the solution is the problem
without the end there is no meaning
and we didn't come this far to create more self-
destruction
no

I don't expect that these eyes will ever see the break of 
day 
as more than just a sign that this will fade away

aware of all the words behind the curtain
knowing how we play uncertain
destroying light before the day
and turning this existence into ashes

I don't expect that these eyes will ever see the break of 
day 
as more than just a sign that this will fade away
I don't expect to live that long to see the proof that I 
was wrong
or hear the lies that everything's okay 
and nothing fades away

I won't fade away
