lyrics

You give a part of yourself to the miles
In the hours spent in transit to where you're called
But weary minds tend to get distracted
and reason bends beyond our own resolve

No we can't give up, we're on our way
The leg work counts in the long run

Inspired by those whose flights never took off
Bound by responsibility, chattel to their lives
Wet behind the ears, a call beyond your years
Sacrifice your every dream

No I will no squander -- I won't let it spoil
Everything they gave to me

No pity, no romance
Someday I will get my chance
Not fame, not wealth. Whatever end, I've done this to myself

Due diligence is not a formula
Surrender leads us to contempt
It's all for not without dedication
With no purpose, you might as well be dead

A man wears the face he earns
We all wear the face we earn
A man wears the face he earns
We all wear the face we earn

Like a phantom limb, always reaching
For greater things we've never known

No pity, no romance
Someday I will get my chance
Not fame, not wealth. Whatever end, I've done this to myself
