lyrics

i've tried to live my life at a certain pace
emphasize the key points and
leave the narrowest trace

i'd draw the longest line to try to circumscribe these minutes i've wasted
all through these years
they've added up to moments, to days, to a lifetime

so i'll rage against the dying light
til my lungs swell
and i'll strive for artistry
to leave my mark
as a serious man

i counted quietly in my sleep
all the steps it'd take to keep
the worst of this from you
but my body's devastated
and my mind's a blur

so i'd rage against this dying light
but my lungs fill
and i'd strive for artistry
but my eyes fail
and my trembling hands
just can't outline your shape anymore

but my silence is not strength
it's certainly not composure
it's just a feeble vice grip
on the place that i've lost in this world

oh i've lived

i've lived my life without a pace
i'm at a loss for talking points
there's nothing left but consequence
oh but i'd swear anything for you

i counted quietly in my sleep
all the steps it'd take to keep
the worst of this from you
but the truth is
i never saw farther than the shoulders of giants
because i just couldn't climb that high

after the life i've lived
I
won't be anyone's joke
