Sorry that your best laid plans just didn't work
Mommy's big boy got lost in a bigger world
You put up quite a fight but got a little bit roughed up
The boy who tried his best but his best wasn't good enough
My skin gets thicker in each of life's phases
A layer of stone for 22 ages
Sometimes my own face is a stranger's
But I'm still the same child underneath life's changes
Standing at the base of a never-ending cliff face
I don't know if I can make it but I know I have to leave this place
Kiss the dusty ground and say a final goodbye
And climb towards the bright light floating in the night sky
The past is far too heavy and you'll never make it out alive
So let go of the parts of you that you don't think you'll need this time
See your body crack, watch it fracture into ancient stone
Lightning down your back with every fragment that you let go
It's hard to watch them fall but you're lighter than you were before
Pieces of yourself lying dead on the canyon floor
A year's worth of pain for each piece you let go
22 Electric screams and echoes
Look over the edge at the pieces that you left behind
Stone soldiers waiting to be lost in the sands of time
Salute from above, farewell and thank you
Here's to the heroes of the past, those little broken statues
