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
