I was looking so reckless
You were looking so wrecked
We were on the edge of something
Riding on the crest
You were running from something I didn’t understand
I was trying to find my footing, trying to be the man
We were on the edge of everything
Paradise was in our grasp
Almost made it to the gate
But wait, we blinked and then it crashed
We were sinking our teeth into the space between our breaths
Sinking in the sands
Hacking the program until the program hacked back
It hit me like a whip that cracked, whiplashed shivers through my spine
Some kind of blinding light locked up my heart and poured out of my eyes
I remember blinking as I tore apart
Bells ringing in my head with dread as I was seeing stars
