Miles

His Statue Falls

You’ve come a long way since
 You’ve tasted what its like to be alone
 They haven’t seen your grace
 Memories of good times
 Make you hold your head up high
 You carry the weight of the world

 I try to escape
 The burden of today
 I’m longing for tomorrow
 But tomorrow’s far away
 I try to forget
 The pain of yesterday
 It’s slowly gettin’ better
 But release is miles away

 And so it’s up to me to maintain
 What we had and what we shared
 Unbroken and still standing
 When I look at you
 The truth appears so I can see
 Pretending is what you prefer

 I try to escape
 The burden of today
 I’m longing for tomorrow
 But tomorrow’s far away
 I try to forget
 The pain of yesterday
 It’s slowly gettin’ better
 But release is miles away

 You carry the weight of the world
 Unbroken and still standing
 You’ve come a long way
 Since you’ve tasted
 What its like to be alone

 I try to escape
 The burden of today
 I’m longing for tomorrow
 But tomorrow’s far away
 I try to forget
 The pain of yesterday
 It’s slowly gettin’ better
 But release is miles away

 I try to escape
 The burden of today
 I’m longing for tomorrow
 But tomorrow’s far away
 I try to forget
 The pain of yesterday
 It’s slowly gettin’ better
 But release is miles away
