lyrics

Time moves the fastest
When you want something to last
You blink and then it’s passed
And each wasted chance is
All you need to be
a Saint of blasphemy
So make it worthwhile
Cause it’s all a trial
To not be a burden
In the face of exile
Maybe you’ll think of me once in every while.

I’ve broken all the branches
Of every dream I’ve tried to climb
Could never seem to get too high
a pocketful of stories
Only leads to empty hands
And I’ve done the best I can
To make it worthwhile
But now it’s a trial
To not be a burden
In the face of exile
Maybe you’ll think of me once in every while

I’ve been ao long stuck between two worlds,
I forgot where I belong,
forgot how to write a song,
forgot how to get along,
without you

I wish my name were up in lights.
So I could show what I’ve done.
What it meant to everyone.
They say theres no more true believers,
but there are still a few of us,
Out here doing what we must,
just to get by,
and we mostly try,
to not be a burden,
To our sanctified
So bye bye baby, bye bye, by and by.
