Near Forever – Imperative lyrics

I've come to recognize
I'm all alone
And it took me a long long time
To let go

If no one watches over
Then no one waits for you
It's to easy to pretend
It's not a means, it's the end

I want to feel alive
Discover something new
Run home to write it all down
Before the day is through

I do not live for dying
I do not live for you
With so much love to give
Before you go take some with you
Look deep in my eyes
No deeper still
Look deep in my eyes
Like it's the last time

There is only this life
Such a short time
And I am just fine
With unclouded eyes
I stand alone
And I am just fine

Everyone of us is going to die
Slip into the night
Everything you know will flicker like a light
There is no need to hide

I am just fine
Live every second
Before it's taken from you
And before you go take a good look around
And say goodnight
Like it's the last time

Touch my face with yours
That's how I pray
And those who are gone
The things we've done
Sing Hallelujah

Until the end
Until the end
Until nothing.
