Ab Aeterno

I don't know how far I'll go
Maybe I'll just follow you again 'till I find some self affection
I can't see too far ahead
Maybe I'll just stay between the lines
'Till I find my own redemption
I'd never be self enter-twined
You know I'd want to come back to you
If you'd ever want to take me
You give and take, just taking more
More than even you could ever want
But you could leave me just barely living

And if I was meant to write my own fate
I'd be going nowhere
All my days, if I was meant to save myself
I'd be long gone by now
By now

Oh

What follows me to rest
Isn't all the trouble that I've caused
But the time that I know is wasted
God knows what I've confessed
And only he remembers who I was
And the sweet things of life I've tasted
Thick skin kept me alive
Feeding on the troubles of my spine
In the glories of my own folly
From grace and from your head

Far away from everything you saw
Now I'm sworn to a life of running

And if I was meant to write my own fate
I'd be going nowhere
All my days, if I was meant to save myself
I'd be long gone by now
By now
Oh
