in the dreams that now keep you from sleep the future is shaped by bad memories. and all you can see is what you lost. so more is lost each passing day to a future shaped by your history. you remember that day how hard you done fell. when the faith dried up and all welcomed hell. and the black skies above did empty. you remember their faces, you remember their goodbyes, you remember what it was not to live a lie. and then their backs you saw them turning. sometimes you'll feel like you're letting yourself down. sometimes you'll feel like you held your tongue too long. but you'll see in time that your fire is still burning. and whatever mistakes you've made, whatever wrongs you've been wronged can still be made right. you've earned your stripe, don't give up on the hope. you reinvent yourself. you reinvent history. you reinvent the future
