You come, from outer space
And I, I sprung out from the earth
We lay down, face to face
To witness our rebirth
And I'm not leaving while you're breathing
I won't run away
They say it won't last, and you'll move along
And that we're moving too fast, but I know they're wrong
Cuz we, are like invisible light in the dark
There is an endless road on the edge of the map
So let's pack our hats in a burlap sack and go
Men stare, and women sigh
And children dart their eyes
We're tall, our heads are high
And I won't apologize
Oil and water, prince and pauper
Not so far apart
Leaves are falling, we are stalling
Seasons come and go
But winter's chill won't leave me ill
I'll fight, and you'll fight
Toothpaste and lemonade
Polka dots and stripes
You're a dark night, and I'm the day
We're a wreck, and that's alright
And you're the pin that's sticking in
To me, the hand grenade

Inspired by the Dylan Thomas poem, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.
The setting sun, hanging low on the horizon
My heart is numb, as I watch you slip away
You close your eyes, as if the light is growing brighter
And a peaceful gaze consumes your tired face
Do not go gentle, no my love
The angels dont need you above
Rage against the dying of the light
So many lands, still remain to be discovered
So many plans, still are hanging in the air
And there is still, so much I need to learn about you
And the daffodils on silent hills, will never tell me what I want to know
[Chorus]
I never learned, how to be myself without you
When I turn, to face the mirror, I see you
You’re not just half, ‘cause you can’t separate the whole
No long division’s sharp incision, could ever extricate you from my soul
[Chorus]
For everything, there is a time, and there’s a season
But deep within, there never seems to be a reason
When the time comes, I’ll stand beside you in silence
But until that day, don’t go away, it’s not your turn to leave me here alone
[Chorus x 2] Josh Woodward: Do Not Go Gentle (Official Lyric Video)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YoUq0YgiUNM/mqdefault.jpg)

The splendor of youth
Of undying truth
The poisonous pill, we consume
The promise of fate
We find out too late
Was only a lie, we create
You flew
On past the edge of the sky
Cuz you knew
That only the living can die
Amaranthine, you fly
The weight of your chains
The pull on your reins
It buckles and strains, till you break
But you found the key
Beneath the debris
To free and release, the weight
You flew
On past the edge of the sky
Cuz you knew
That only the living can die
Amaranthine, you fly
[Bridge]
You flew
On past the edge of the sky
Cuz you knew
That only the living can die
Amaranthine, goodbye Josh Woodward: Amaranthine, You Fly](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_3dPHmuaDhA/mqdefault.jpg)
