These seconds slip by,
Like lost tears from your eyes,
And I know that we're gone,
But death wont be too long.

And this brief existence,
Out like a light,
And our lives together,
Twisted into the night.

A ballad of the stars,
Lost inside your arms,
With you this could be forever,
As we drift through the ether.

The darkness feels like home,
Settling around your weary frame,
Close yours eyes, my love,
As I call your name.

Lost to a life,
That doesn't feel like mine,
Crying over you,
I have no grasp of time.

And this brief existence,
Out like a light,
And our lives together,
Twisted into the night.
