lyrics

Sometimes I just cant justify it even to myself
Because it seems my life so far could some day be a dream upon a shelf
Collecting dust, as my body starts to rust
But gold will never oxidize now’s not the time to compromise it all

For something less, confess the “sin” of wanting something more
First to yourself, then make it known by everyone that you
Will not be stricken by the same fears that have put them on their knees
And left them blissful in subdued complacency

Don’t embrace your thoughts of fate
And don't rely on the stars to shine light upon you
So love the chase to fill the space
And pour your heart out more than the rain that tries to douse your flame

The constant self reflection makes me doubt my every step
So humor me for just this once and siphon from the sea of my regrets
For things I’ve done, losing time with ones I love
Cause in my eyes reflections keep, the memories that have cut me deep

They all will ebb and flow from consciousness to somewhere down below
And be kept there to be recalled whenever I’m in need
Of feeling something that I left behind so long ago
Just know the hardest part of this was left behind the scenes

Don’t embrace your thoughts of fate
And don't rely on the stars to shine light upon you
So love the chase to fill the space
And pour your heart out more than the rain that tries to douse your flame

I can’t sing forever but I can try
And the day my voice gives is the day I die
I can’t sing forever but I can try
And the day my voice gives is the day I die

Don’t embrace your thoughts of fate
And don't rely on the stars to shine light upon you
So love the chase to fill the space
And pour your heart out even more than the rain that tries to douse your flame

That tries to douse your flame
That tries to douse your flame
(I can’t sing forever)
That tries to douse your flame
(I can’t sing forever)
