Don't Burn the Dream

I never found my way

In illusions of a higher ground

No sense to make

Of the shards and the fury

Ambered memories on a windowsill

For all my misplaced affections

All this love that I've left unfelt

If I was blind

I wonder if I'd notice

The citric glow when I close my eyes

I close my eyes

If it's fire that you need

Don't burn the dream

Though the mountains are grey

And the valley's dark

Perpetual motion

Above the commotion

When the stars are so hard to see

If it's fire that you need

Don't burn the dream

Though the mountains are grey

And the valley's dark (Don't burn the dream)

Perpetual motion

Above the commotion

When the stars are so hard to see (Don't burn the dream)

Decisions yet to be made

And my ghosts they still linger on

I buried my pride in a calcium mine

For a debt that I did not owe

Yet I find myself still searching

At a loss for what can't be found

I'm not saying that I live

With a heart full of regret

But I ache for what can't be known

What can't be known?

If it's fire that you need

Don't burn the dream

Though the mountains are grey

And the valley's dark (Don't burn the dream)

Perpetual motion

Above the commotion

When the stars are so hard to see (Don't burn the dream)

If it's fire that you need

Don't burn the dream

Though the mountains are grey

And the valley's dark (Don't burn the dream)

Perpetual motion

Above the commotion

When the stars are so hard to see

Don't burn the dream
