It's too late, it's too late
We've broken in half
It's too late to separate the bullet wound from the scars
If faith is a virtue then why'd you lose yours
And pass the point of no return?

If you cross the river, then you build a mountain
Who'll shine the lantern and guide me to you?
I've found the best way is to find the fountain of youth you created
Half of me is you

Children need protectors and fathers are providers
And family is the lifeblood
That's why we needed you
Grieving, crying
Ordained to walk alone as you cross the Rubicon

I thought I caught a flicker but you were never there
Did you see our smiles before you crossed the Rubicon?
I grew up too fast

We all have a day
A line we all must tow
The lantern's light flickers no more
Still you had to choose the grimmest way
To say goodbye...

I just hope it lasts

But things have a habit of going my way
I'm like a cat with 9 lives a day
Thrown from the rooftops
I fall on my feet
I have been told that it runs in my veins
The gravitas to take the worst by the reins
But that don't mean this broken heart won't bleed
If you cut me, I'll bleed.

Lights will flicker as the oil runs dry
Eyelids grow thicker like the swell of dusk tide
And life's like that lanterm swaying left to right to left to right to left to right
Slowly but surely
I will lay my body down and cry myself
For the rest of my life
The grief I feel sings the whale song
Of this tragedy...
