Once, long ago, you and I traced an outline
A perforated edge and other details I can hardly bring to mind

We saw, we saw it all clearly, we thought it, we thought it all in reach
We faded and wasted ourselves, in dim light chasing highs

And when it all fades, can you say it was worth the wait?
When it's hard to feel a thing and your vacant eyes keep saying

Save yourself now 'cause I'm riding this out to the end
And I don't want no one around when I go down
So save yourself now 'cause I'm riding this out to the end
To the end

Too high to keep climbing up, so I sit and stay
Miles and miles away

But don't come to me with your placards and your common phrases
I'm cutting our losses here, my friend, in a countdown to the end

Still severing ties when even my silences seem to speak violence
I've been building my cage, I'm going down with the ship, so loosen your grip

Save yourself now 'cause I'm riding this out to the end
And I don't want no one around when I go down
So save yourself now 'cause I'm riding this out to the end
To the end

Dropping off one by one, when you won't stand to bend the bars
We're left screaming from the outside

Show me a sign, show me a sign
I'll find a way, I'll find a way

Save yourself now 'cause I'm riding this out to the end
And I don't want no one around when I go down
So save yourself now 'cause I'm riding this out to the end
To the end

So save yourself now 'cause I'm riding this out to the end
And I don't want no one around when I go down
So save yourself now 'cause I'm riding this out to the end
To the end…
