"The Starting Line"

Airplane, flies by
Bright lights in the night sky
Flash red, flash white
Passing by my line of sight

Awake, tonight
Out here, no time
There's no streetlights
Only the faintest glow of life

Why does everything that make me feel alive
Keep me from really living
All the things that keep me up at night
Keeping me from sleeping
It's such a strange duality
That every breath is killing me
That everything I take I'm giving

Hiding, my eyes
Escape to my mind
I can't rewind
Go back, change time

But I can live
Like today's the starting line

Why does everything that make me feel alive
Keep me from really living
All the things that keep me up at night
Keeping me from sleeping
It's such a strange duality
That every breath is killing me
That everything I take I'm giving
