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
