lyrics

Maybe if it’s magic it must be real
Time keeps turning like a whirling wheel
Life keeps spinning like a disco ball
The brighter you burn the farther you fall

Baby I’m begging set my spirit free
The dying of an age I need relief
How do I become more than I am?
There’s so much more I don’t understand

Don’t lose this dream
If it costs everything
The more you don’t the more it means
Otherwise why are you living?

When better than most ain’t good enough
You played your hand they called your bluff
Compromise until you believe the lies
But everyone’s soul has a price

Don’t lose this dream
If it costs everything
The more you don’t the more it means
Otherwise why are you living?

Everything’s a game
Different but the same
Call it by another name
Is it fate or is it timing?
Stitched in that silver lining
It’s the worst it’s the best
Everyday put to the test
