My sights are set on changing things that often are beyond my control
But I get that a lot
Caught beneath a tower of ever-present afterthoughts
Waiting for a chance to take my shot.
Thumbing through the pages of a book that’s never written,
Trying to be remembered when your dreams are all you’ve got
Let tomorrow be forgotten as it falls down to my feet.
Pray forever keeps its word so that I may burn this in my memory
Turn around, over your shoulder, set your gaze upon
Doubting strangers selling their advice.
Underneath a shredding layer of confidence I find,
Everyone’s a stranger in my eyes.
Tangled in the traps of claustrophobic intervention
Tearing down the walls and shouting god it’s about time
Let tomorrow be forgotten as it falls down to my feet.
Pray forever keeps its word so that I may burn this in my memory
Racing up the steps that lead
To nothing I have ever seen
Stumble twice for every one I gain
Even souls of future’s past
Living as if it’s their last
Could shake the shackles before it’s too late
In the letter I received I couldn’t help but smile
Your innocence is contagious don’t you know
A prophet or a poet, well I never know for sure
You echo every sentiment as you reach out from below
Let tomorrow be forgotten as it falls down to my feet
Pray forever keeps its word so that I may burn this in my memory
