lyrics

Like a star thats forgotten how to shine
i've felt faded in the middle of my prime
and dust will settle upon those who covet time
i said the deck of the restless, it sits on a crooked lie

and like a cork thats stuck in a bottle of wine
i'm finding it harder just to have a good time
but life is fragile - my friend that you can't deny
its like an embryo thats spinning on the edge of a diamond

but i don't want to fight it any more
and though i'm still stuck at sea and though i still can't see the shore
i can see birds, overhead, they are flying
and so i'll lay down as i float upon the tide

like a clown who's learning how to cry
i am a person starting to unwind
and i am a traveller who has looked to hard for signs
i guess i'm like a human that doesn't want to die

doesn't want to die

don't wanna die.
