We built this fire
A grand illusion
Lighting our own supposed path
Countless days
Forming and constructing foundations
Remembering
The blood, sweat, and tears
That spilled revealing
our spirit in sound
A vision we shared
Never thinking someday
we’d reach the end
Believing this delusion
could really endure
Forever is a myth
Awake from the dream
Let go accept it just
wasn’t meant to be
To anchor all our will
in this was a mistake
The only constant is change
To anchor all our will
in this was a mistake
The only constant is change
So many years spent
on a fucking mistake
What remains of that flame
In ash evaporates
amongst tempest winds
A bittersweet recollection of you
This souvenir is all I have left
Hopeless to reignite the fire
Forsake and abandon
I finally turn the page
I must accept that all that time
And all those days
Have faded away
But I will still cherish the memory
The road to home
won’t always be the same
I’m not running away
Today this chapter comes to an end
We come to terms
at the face of defeat
Another lesson learned
I come to terms
that this wasn’t for me
So hurl me out to the curve
So far away
Throw me out
Spit me out
Broken but not giving up
Not giving up
Despite all the devastation
Up against the tides
Don’t grieve the fact
That it’s all over
But be grateful
Be thankful it happened
I’m coming back home
Shattered and scattered
Smiling remembering
all we used to stand for
The journey we shared
The road we traveled
I won’t let myself forget
I will keep on keeping
Over the horizon a glimpse of hope
A shimmer of light is
shining its promise for today
Once more start a new flame
A grand illusion
A conflagration to light a new path
