into a fading light

i want to know what it's like
when i walk over the line
and into a fading light
like it's all mine
like it's what i had in mind
detach me, and i'll be fine

i want to know what it's like
to look across the sea
and know the ocean lies against me
i want to go where it will swallow me whole
and show me a place that the waters call home

not like this earthly grave.
show me the future, and i'll know if i should save
myself for one more day.
i want to know what it's like
to be outside my head
but by then i might be dead
