Where do failed imposters go?
Burn the book that says you took the
Autumn, the fall grows low
Over rooftops far below the

Springtime, the vespers chime
Blossoms fill the trees that line the
Where do all your worries go?
Now I guess we'll never know
How you hit the
Well, how you hit the

You said "don't let your heart give out"
No, I won't let my heart give out
You said "don't let your breath run out"

You said "don't let your breath run out"
No, I won't let my breath run out

To use whatever fuel is left
Yeah it's true, I push too hard I guess
