You're fighting an endless war
Hunting a miracle
And when you reach out for the stars
They just cut you down

Looking through the glass
Cannot recognize the ghost that you are seeing
Every step you take on the burning sand
Slowly sinking deeper
All the memories remain all the pain from your broken home
And the walls 'round your heart grew so strong
You can't let go

You keep crawling on
Don't wanna let it go
So you keep holding on
To feel whole
