[Verse 1]
I don't know when it started
This feeling, I've a long way to go
Half a lifetime's work
And not that much to show
[Verse 2]
Searching for perfection
Second-guessing everything
To carve a thousand birds
And never hear them sing
[Verse 3]
I can imagine the inside out
From darkness, the light would come
Cut into the shadows
To let the light escape
Who'd have thought creation
Would take so much away?
[Chorus]
Never enough
Dreams slowly burned and turned into ash
Go through the motions
Keep showing up, carve to feel nothing
Work for the silence, cut for relief
The choice is now, will I always wonder
If it's the time to make the connection?
Heart to the hand, hand to the blade
Dreams manifest, glory displayed

Searching for a place
Find a different way
Let go of what has gone
And cannot be returned
[Chorus]
I never thought
A dream could survive this long in the dark
Like a flame without fuel
It flutters and sparks and clings on to life
Almost gone, almost invisible
If I walk away, I'll always wonder
And maybe I'm wrong to build up the banks
Let in the air, take a deep breath
And watch it breathe into life
