Pursuing the Dawn - Lyrics

Thinking now of your worries I realize it’s not like you 

To trade off time after time on the day’s issues

Fearing all hope is lost, dreaming of amnesia

Easy fixes abound, but it’s not like you


To fall, to yield, to ignore all you feel

Turn your back on those mirrors

Pursuing the dawn instead

Tear down all the black curtains from your head



Gazing t’ward the horizon, quiet morning and soundless skies;

I’ll postpone feelings of dread, at least until next time.


I feel the cost of dreams that are all but lost

Putting all faith in illusions

Knowing well what they’re worth

If only I could see clearly…


Here I am trying to make things right

Realizing everyday’s a fight, fighting to end the night


I fell, I yield, ignoring all I feel

I’ll turn my back on those mirrors

Pursuing the dawn instead

Tearing down all the black curtains…


Here I am trying to make things right

Realizing everyday’s a fight, fighting to end the night


I keep driving round in circles only to see the dark all around

Aiming to reach the centre where all is clear

and quiet and hope abound
