New Limit (Lyrics)

It started with a shot, and flickered out in a silent flash of flame And when the smoke had cleared and everybody left it was boundless and black again It's not a lot, but it's as good a place to start as any So let these tired feet and worn out shoes carry me the long way home, it's all that I know So when the time and the tide forget me and the ruined lives forgive me I'll take the long way home The summer flared like a firework, and threw a blanket of gold across the bay And I've been walking around with these chains at my feet but I feel a little lighter today And I'm still cautious, but I'm feeling hopeful all the same And it's better this way. It's better this way just struggling in these waves. I was just so tired of screaming when it's all for nothing I was just tired of trying when no one will listen, but now it's looking brighter.
