lyrics

And so it seems the time has come
For me to lay down,
But I reserve the right to know
That I am not alone.

Right up until I’m set free…
With no god to hold me,
I know I will pass alone.

It’s okay, it’s okay,
Lay down and feel the rain,
Wash off this life you’ve come to hate
‘Cause you know you’re not here to stay.

Don’t follow me home,
I’ll go on my own.

And so it seems the time has come
For me to show myself home,
But I reserve the right to know
That I am not alone.

Faking apathy has never been so hard for me.

It’s okay, it’s okay,
Lay down and feel the rain,
Wash off this life you’ve come to hate
‘Cause you know you’re not here to stay.

Hold me underneath,
I want to taste what it’s like to not breathe.

Expecting me to see
This is just a blessing,
And I don’t believe
That I’ll be any less free.

There’s no fully realizing
How lucky I am to never have to breathe again.

I know I’m free
To choose what I believe,
It’s a matter of having the ability.

Hold my hand in these last few seconds we have,
Soon you’ll be gone into your empty new home,
Have fun in the unknown.

This is all more than
Another night’s rest,
It’s a time to let go of myself
And a time to accept.
This is all more than
An empty request,
It’s a time to let go of myself…

Don’t follow me home,
I’ll go on my own.

And with time
You’ll come to join me,
And I’ll be there waiting
So you don’t have to worry.

Much like I know
I’ll have others there to greet me,
Or so I’d like to think,
But I don’t believe.

There’s always time,
Though it’s not on our side
To lay to rest the holes we’ve left in our lives.
But it’s over now,
There’s nothing that I know
That this life requires,
It’s time to let go.

There’s no stopping what I will become,
So I’ll say my farewells and move on.
I can either die dissatisfied,
Or accept the life I loved.

There’s always time,
Though it’s not on our side
To lay to rest the holes we’ve left in our lives.
But it’s over now,
There’s nothing that I know
That this life requires,
It’s time to let go. (x2)
