The Nature of Progress
You promised another way to see
A life only lived to try and breathe again
Denial and forfeit everything
It's the way you give up
It's the way you get into silence and forced serenity
Reasons why
The promises were empty but you always need the truth to help you lie
Reconnect the lines
That hold you to reality and draw you with the theft you try to hide
Reaching forward now
Reaching forward now
Buried trees with carvings haunt you
As they will
Roses spy
Failure to realize your cost
Surprised that you wouldn't be the first to run
Desire to see the light of day
Is the way you get up
It's the way you give into silence and risk it all the same
Reasons why
The sorrow is enough to bring you to another fault until you writhe
Reassess the sign
The palace in your mind is fading faster than the sands can count the time
Reaching forward now
Reaching forward now
Staring into nothing, can you see
Redefine why
Tomorrow, when the ashes fall, it wasn't due to your compelling plan
Each and every time
The punishment is justified so long as there is someone left to blame
Sail away
Sail away
Drift home
A life only lived to try and breathe again
Denial and forfeit everything
It's the way you give up
It's the way you get into silence and forced serenity
Reasons why
The promises were empty but you always need the truth to help you lie
Reconnect the lines
That hold you to reality and draw you with the theft you try to hide
Reaching forward now
Reaching forward now
Buried trees with carvings haunt you
As they will
Roses spy
Failure to realize your cost
Surprised that you wouldn't be the first to run
Desire to see the light of day
Is the way you get up
It's the way you give into silence and risk it all the same
Reasons why
The sorrow is enough to bring you to another fault until you writhe
Reassess the sign
The palace in your mind is fading faster than the sands can count the time
Reaching forward now
Reaching forward now
Staring into nothing, can you see
Redefine why
Tomorrow, when the ashes fall, it wasn't due to your compelling plan
Each and every time
The punishment is justified so long as there is someone left to blame
Sail away
Sail away
Drift home
