12 - Persistence

How do we make it out of here
Out to the sky, the open road?
How did we learn to disappear
Our dreams becoming ghosts?

Why did we learn to let go,
Close our eyes and close our hearts to the secrets that we know?
The plans we used to start
The hope we used to grow

But I'm not giving it up just now
Everything I was waiting for
The last lost piece of the puzzle found
Falling out from the life I wore

All of the things we've done
Dreams driven into the ground
The wreckage of who we were
Sinking without a sound
But I'm not giving it up just now

I don't want to spend my years
Walking towards the setting sun
I'll turn and face my fears
The moment this is done

Day by day they disappear
Fears and hopes go hand in hand into the desert of the years
Lost in shifting sand
Everything undone

But I'm not giving it up just now
Everything I was fighting for
The last lost piece of the puzzle found
Falling out from the life I wore

All of the things we've done
Dreams driven into the ground
The wreckage of who we were
Sinking without a sound
But I'm not giving it up just now

I'm not giving it up just now
