Ascension

Rising up through

The ash filled sky

I die

Sometimes I can't

Remember why

I cry

See your wings climb

Above the lies

And I

Know that we

Last outside of time



A sound rushes over,

An impulse to pretend

The darkness surrounds

Reckless thoughts survive

My candle burns out

Too scared to close

My eyes

Forgive me

I never want to fly high



Sudden sense of intensity

I die

Flashing imaged pass away

I cry

You assure me

It's all worthwhile

And I

Know that we last

Outside of time



A sound rushes over,

An impulse to pretend

The darkness surrounds

Reckless thoughts survive

My candle burns out

Too scared to close

My eyes

Forgive me

I never want to fly high



Rising up through

The ash filled sky

I die

Sometimes I can't

Remember why

I cry

See your wings climb

Above the lies

And I

Know that we

Last outside of time



Sudden sense of intensity

I die

Flashing imaged pass away

I cry

You assure me

It's all worthwhile

And I

Know that we last

outside of time
