lyrics

I'm down at the end
The end of my rope
Hanging by a thread
And I can't recall
How I got here at all
Things were so grand
Dreams were so big
The hurdles in between
Seemed small to me
Now they're everything I see eclipsing me

But there's no turning back as I patiently wait
For the overburdened sole to drop it's weight
It's dreams like this that kill a man
It's dreams like this that make me say

So long goodbye my friend
You're never gunna make it
Never gunna make it on our own

Please don't speak and make this harder than it has to be
On either one of us
Don't think I haven't thought about it
So much time I've spent here wondering just where you're at
Are you here with me?
Can you hear me now or never
The wasted years and sleepless nights
Has led me here to a dream that just might kill a man
It's dreams like this that make me say

Goodbye to second chances
The scales haven't tipped your way
I've heard it all before
It's a tired story
The road least traveled might not be your way

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward
