Leave Your List Behind

The daze of your life leaves you missing out
You won’t be brave
You don't believe what is all around
You've been wasting away
Here on the skyline I own this town
You're soul and the rain
The weight of your fight proves your under ground
Was it not insane

When you're alone I find you
You've got to live before you leave
You're going home son
Why don't you leave your list behind

There’s a sound that is secret, like a whisper
Don’t feel like you’re too far away
There's a sand that is sinking if your moving
The dawns light can bring a new day

In our time, life will deal you
all or none, all is one
Tasting, blood and tears
Life’s return, strife to churn
The suns pass flies so quickly
Learn to walk, get it done
You feel your pride defeated
This son ain’t burned, give it time

I loaned a fortune to you
But you gave it away to somebody
You wanted time to believe

Right on time, this strife revealed you
Called this one, thought you’d run
Wasted, crafted years
The price to learn, those you’ve burned
One's past, smiles so sickly,
The Shangri-la, is a setting sun
You felt snide and cheated
This love ain’t earned, gave you time

I loaned a fortune to you
But you gave it away to somebody
You needed time to believe
Leave your list behind
