lyrics

Who makes all those promises
We hang onto
When we can’t speak
About betrayal
‘Cuz it never adds up
The promise and the reality
Look out at the horizon
Where everything
Vanishes and
Ceases to matter
Walk into the
Desert
Storms brewing
Wherever you go
Overtaken by floods of doubt
Washing all the dreams
Away from my
Misguided heart
We put ourselves in this place
With all those broken promises
And dreams gone wrong
‘Cuz it never adds up
The promise and the reality
Look out to the horizon
Where the promises and the dreams
Vanish and
Cease to matter
You get to where you are
One step after the next
You can trace your route
Don’t know where you’ll end up
Can’t keep going
Into that distance
Looking only for those
Same old promises
That are never fulfilled
While falling on your face
Where your dreams lie dead
In your path
Watch where your
Footsteps land
And find beauty
In the surprises
‘Cuz it never adds up
The promise and the reality
Forget all of those
Old dreams
Out in the distance
Out of reach
Keep on walking
Into the unknown
Forever forward
Storms along the way
Leave them all behind
The promises and dreams
They only hold you back
And never add up
The promise and the reality
Leave it all behind
