Atropos
[Hook]
Never will fall, never will fly
Never be able to make it alive
Never will know when it's my time to go
But until that day shows I will open my eyes
Never will crawl, never will dive
Never be able to see my demise
Ending is up to the fates to decide
And I leave no regrets in the shadow behind
(2x)

[Verse 1]
This is life
Rage against the dying of the light
Balance on a tight-rope, threads, slowly sliced with a knife
Find a way to navigate the mines and find happiness
Defined as cutting ties with fear and living where our passion is
Here, now, the moment's quickly passin'
And no matter what we do our life is held ransom
Asking what the meaning is, but we're the one whose questioned
Lessons learned and finding answers, pass em on is our redemption
Never restin, when moments test our poise
Try to knock us down with suffering we can't avoid
We make our choice, bow or keep our eyes up
Give in, give up, and wave the flag or make our tragedy a triumph
It's rarely easy, but truth is that we're all in need of the grind
To give it purpose, what's freedom if we never know the bind?
And there's no shackle, til sound of the gallows and gavel go strike
Except what we give power to
Nothing holds us from our flight
Unless we let it
[Hook]

[Verse 2]
This is beautiful - even when it isn't
And my limits make me stronger when I choose to fight against em
No longer, and honor truth that I wander along the route
On my own and I water roots when I'm showin how to lace boots
And keep going, never slowing down, holding on until I've found
What I live and what I fight for, what I'd gladly give my life for
When I find my why I can handle any how
I can sacrifice blood and sweat from the brow
Freedom's the acceptance that the work is always endless
And don't let this second guess the seconds spent until the day I exit
Left or stage right - no time for stage fright
No lines to memorize, just do my best to improvise
In disguise I reside if I wear a mask of lies
To try to hide my frightened eyes
Blinded by the stars I idolize
And try to be like
Rewrite this foolish path to roam
A sleep walking dead zombie living in the catacombs
Destiny is only shown to those who've got the strength to face
Their demons straight and see em break
Beneath the weight of love we make
Em free, and let go of waiting for the crystal ball
Back against the wall will conquer nothing if you think you're small
You are, but legends mark their own tarot cards
Count the blessings till the endings dripping bone marrow hard
It will be, again and again, but everything, everyone, everywhere passes
And dreams are made awake, not waiting on a mattress
Until we catch our train, moment-to-moment we capture and master this
No Lazarus, there's no ever after after this
