Sleeping At Last - Accidental Light lyrics
[Sleeping At Last - Accidental Light lyrics]
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'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
'Cause 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
Just 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
'Cause time's running out
It's always running out on me
Every road I've discovered disappears
Under my feet
Some call it reckless, I call it breathing
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'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
'Cause 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
Just 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
'Cause time's running out
It's always running out on me
Every road I've discovered disappears
Under my feet
Some call it reckless, I call it breathing
