Half A Second

In a half an hour I’ll watch you go
In a half a minute I’ll be moving slow
In a half a day I’ll be dying fast
But in half a second…

Turn out the light
Can you hear me?
Turn on your mind
So silently
You’ll begin to live
As you watch me die
And every vision
Makes me cry

In a half an hour I’ll watch you go
In a half a minute I’ll be moving slow
In a half a day I’ll be dying fast
But in half a second…

Close your eyes
Tell me where you’ve been
Open your mind
As we proceed to spin
Reach for my hand
As you say goodbye
And every vision
Makes me cry

In a half an hour I’ll watch you go
In a half a minute I’ll be moving slow
In a half a day I’ll be dying fast
But in half a second…

Wipe away my tears
So bitter-sweet
Destructive moves
Revolve around retreat
I want to see you
But I wonder why
Every vision
Makes me cry
