lyrics

This can't be the end,
We've only just begun.
I've been blinded,
I've been misguided.

Why fight if all is already lost?
Why live for nothing if there's a cost?
Everything I've ever known has led me to an empty throne.

You know how the sound of rain feels.
There's no need to say, "I have to stay."
At the edge of the earth on my heels,
I'm not lost, I'm on my way.

I've had this dream a thousand times,
A thousand nights, a thousand lives.
Never ending, boundless volition.
Possibility comes to fruition.
All lights, no exit signs.

I'm not lost.
