lyrics

I sit in search of peaceful tones
While age erodes the corners of the pages
Of the books we very nearly wrote
Abandoned at a thousand different stages

Within my heart, beyond my grasp
The words just never seem to come
An exercise in looking back
At these unfinished drafts and plans undone

We’ve got to cross that finish line
Beyond the walls within our minds
Close your eyes and say goodbye
We’ve got to cross that finish line

With every hour they fade away
My visions blur just a little more
Once vivid melodies betray
The hope I seemed to know before

We’ve got to cross that finish line
Beyond the walls within our minds
Close your eyes and say goodbye
We’ve got to cross that finish line

I’m chasing ghosts like fireflies
I catch them in a cloudy set of mason jars
It’s only then I realize
They glow much brighter from afar

Let it fly and let it go
I’ll redefine this mess of expectations
The tattered clothes and broken bones
And all the artifacts and maps of paths I’ve taken

We’ve got to cross that finish line
Beyond the walls within our minds
Close your eyes and say goodbye
We’ve got to cross that finish line
