Who wrote the rules? I'd like to know Did they live it or laugh it off and let it go? Did they break down? Did it show? As their light was slipping away See the trends sink with the sun See the old friends They're packing up and moving on And time will tell, 'cause time only knows It eats at your seams just to see if you'll let it go Save us all, darkness breaks through the afternoon Like no other, light is slipping away from us Could you reset the breaker? Reset the breaker I broke the rules and boy, does it show And I'm so ready, so say goodbye and watch me go To this great uncharted unknown That sleeps in these sheets and repeats in me ever so slow I'm alone So save all of us, darkness breaks through the day Like no other, light is slipping away from me So save all of us, light is slipping away Like no other, our lives are drifting away from us We're all alone Now I cut all these strings I fly away alone Softly singing This word It's mine My life My song Sing it Scream it Believe it I'm gone.
