They once believed there was a time for change It came around when open minds were closed Now as this chaos holds my feet to the ground I can't see beyond these walls that we're tearing down And I can deny you forever But I won't find solace in never Fly on Take with you my thoughts and the memories of all that I've lost In my mind There's no reason to be holding out forever If this is what it's cost They've written stories of the games of life They sanctify forgetting all that's past These pages written upon flesh with blood Is this the glory that we're singing of? We keep our faith in a tarnished reflection Blindly guided by our misdirection A need for purpose has lead us to wander But will the dark pull us under? And though lights are fading behind you Your shadow is all that I cling to Fly on Take with you my thoughts and the memories of all that I've lost In my mind There's no reason to be holding out forever If this is what it's cost We are not a mirror of our past We can find light even whilst living in somebody else's shadow We write our fate We must forget our past to build our future Do we believe now in the game of life? Can we find a way to break the mould? Tear out these pages and we'll write our own Then we can leave the past alone Fly on Take with you my thoughts and the memories of all that I've lost In my mind There's no reason to be holding out forever If this is what it's cost
