O2 Time is running out

Sanoitukset

The final chapter's calling I can feel it in my bones Time is running out now And I'm still out here alone I'm not finished with this world I've still got things to say But the air is getting thinner And the light is fading away I was the man they came to When the wheels came off the track I carried half the world for them Never asked for nothing back Now I'm sitting in a silence With these walls closing in They've written down the final words Before the fight could even begin I still remember who I was I know what's buried underneath But there's a war inside this body And it's stealing every breath from me They say willing is one thing But being able is another game When your heart still wants to run But your body won't remain Time is running out But I ain't finished yet I'm still standing in the ashes Of a life they won't regret Come and get me if you see me Don't just leave me in the dark I'm a fire without the oxygen I'm a dying, beating heart No fire, no light No warmth against the cold Just a man they wrote off early While his story's still untold Time is running out But I'm still here somehow A pulmonary embolism Put a soldier on his knees Now I'm fighting for the simple things That once came naturally One hour every day I play the part they want to see Then I watch the curtain falling And there's nothing left of me A cost item on a paper A name beneath a line No more treatment, no more answers Just another waste of time I'm too good to throw away Too worn out to be brand new And the world keeps right on turning Like it never even knew I don't need another number I don't need another file I need someone who can see me And stay with me a while Don't confuse my silence With a man who's lost his fight There's a whole damn life still burning Somewhere deep behind my eyes Time is running out But I ain't finished yet I'm still standing in the ashes Of a life they won't regret Come and get me if you see me Don't just leave me in the dark I'm a fire without the oxygen I'm a dying, beating heart No fire, no light No warmth against the cold Just a man they wrote off early While his story's still untold They say every flame must flicker They say every man must fall But nobody asks the burning man If he's ready for it all I'm not asking for a miracle I'm not asking to be saved Just don't call me yesterday's news While I'm breathing through this pain I've been broken I've been battered I've been left out in the rain But don't you dare write the end While I can still remember my name Here I go again... Not because I want to Not because I'm unafraid But the road is all I know And I've walked it all these days I'm still here... Can you hear me? I'm still here! Time is running out But I ain't finished yet You can write me off on paper But you haven't won this bet Come and get me if you hear me I won't disappear without a sound I'm more than what is left of me I'm more than being broken down No fire, no light Still I reach into the night If there's one spark left inside me I will hold it with my life Time is running out Hear the words I cannot shout I'm still breathing I'm still bleeding I'm still standing here somehow I'm not finished The final chapter's calling... But the book is still in my hands. I'm not asking for forever. Just don't leave me where I stand. I'm still here. Can you hear me? I'm still here.
