Song Lyrics

I'm not getting excited
'Cause the thrill isn't mine to invite in
Just the chill when I learn
That's it's finally my turn
I've finally earned my place in the urn
And I take a fall
But I keep my hands soft
I keep my body limp
And I move with the wind
I'll go where it bends
And lick all of the expectations

I'm not getting excited
'Cause the light on the fire's got me hiding
When it flashes at night
It's the bringer of signs
I can see it through my eyelids
I know that it's time
And I hold it all
But I keep my hands soft
All the answer and asking
My thoughts are erecting
There's no point untangling
The thought from the action
I'm awake

What is it like, the other side?
Where all my vitals signs have faded away
Bionic dreams keep me awake
I wear the same face to the morning
Warning

Not getting excited
'Cause my fight and my flight are divided
And so I don't enthuse
Keep my grip on joy loose
And I wait for the news
With my feet in my shoes
And I lose it all
With one foot out the door
When I smile, I lie
With my eye to the side
So I greet with goodbye
I greet with goodbye
Yeah goodbye

But what is it like, the other side?
Where all my vitals signs have faded away
Bionic dreams keep me awake
I wear the same face to the morning
Warning
Warning
