lyrics

Tired eyes
Looking from behind
A narrow light
All your nightmares
Came to be
You are home again

In this game
You’re not far behind
Lead the way
Own your own mistakes
And then you
Might find a place
Where nothing’s lost
Don’t give it up

Kill me now
I’m mystified
I’m drowning in
My mystery mind

My castles were
All build with sand
Keep pushing
Keep keep
For once in my life
I really really tried

For once in my
Keep pushing
Don’t give it up

Ricochet
Their words
Will never last
They’ll wash away
Oh, their shadows
Never cast

You must find a place
Where nothing’s lost
Don’t give it up

Silver tongues
Don’t wanna watch
The news today
It brings me down
I am waiting
For the day

When I can find
A place
Where nothing’s lost
Don’t give it up

Kill me now
I’m mystified
I’m drowning in
My mystery mind

My castles were
All build with sand
Keep pushing
Keep keep
For once in my life
I really really tried

For once in my
Keep pushing
Don’t give it up

Where are
The golden years gone?
The promised land
The diamond dogs?

Are all these memories
Build to last?
Well, I don’t know
But please, don’t give it up

Kill me now
I’m mystified
I’m drowning in
My mystery mind

My castles were
All build with sand
Keep pushing
Keep keep
For once in my life
I really really tried

For once in my
Keep pushing
Keep keep
For once in my life
Keep pushing
Keep pushing
Keep keep
For once in my life
Don’t give it up
