"It Starts Tonight"

I almost got away
I almost got away with it
You can turn the other way
And still be tethered on to it
Don't look back
Have no regrets
Don't let it sit
Don't second guess
When you've made the right decision
Stop wondering what you're missing

The past disintegrates so fast
I wonder if it ever lasts
Beyond a shallow memory
The wound not deep enough to bleed
But oh those thorns I'm holding onto
Trying to grasp what's beautiful
Don't serve to save a soul
Won't keep from swallowing me whole

I should have carried on
I should have carried on with it
I broke into a full stride
Just to stop halfway through it
Don't lose sight
Don't forget
That path
And the lonely place it went
You're still unsatisfied
When you gonna live your own life?

The past disintegrates so fast
I wonder if it ever lasts
Beyond a shallow memory
The wound not deep enough to bleed
But oh those thorns I'm holding onto
Trying to grasp what's beautiful
Don't serve to save a soul
Won't keep from swallowing me whole

Break me
Break me away
I'm not waiting
For the break of day
It starts tonight
(It starts tonight)
It starts tonight

The past disintegrates so fast
It slips right through my hands
And I wonder where the time has gone
To find this broken man
Who stands before me like a ghost
A solid frame I see right through
Who trades away what matters most
While calling fame a search for truth
What you gonna do?
