Like Trumpets

Enough pictures drawn in the sand
Of everything we wish we'd been
Just to watch them wash out when the waters rise
Enough careless talk about giving up
Complaining of the things we haven't got
Why can't we stand up to the test of time?
No more
No less than all we are
All we have
No more holding back.
So far, we've only made a scratch
Knives out
No more holding back
We'll drag our heels on cold concrete until it's four feet wide and six feet deep
To forget our regrets and yesterdays
Enough careless talk about giving up
Complaining of the things we haven't got
Why can't we stand up to the test of time?
No more
No less than all we are
All we have
No more holding back
So far, we've only made a scratch
Knives out
No more holding back
I want to cut, cut the binds
It's not the scissors that are dull
It's our minds
It's our apathy and shallow goals entwined
It's all or nothing
Kiss yesterday goodbye
No more
No less than all we are
All we have
No more holding back
so far, we've only made a scratch
Knives out
No more holding back
It's all or nothing, kiss yesterday goodbye
It's all or nothing, kiss yesterday goodbye
It's all or nothing, kiss yesterday goodbye
It's all or nothing, kiss yesterday goodbye
