verse 1: staying is to forsake accepting is to leave even if there will be no guarantee securing what has been reached still it is the risk that excites the thought of freedom there's no denial since it has been so clear that our disunion will come this is a process not to be stopped chorus: i've given everything and would have given even more all gave some and some gave all verse 2: the only link keeping us together is rusted and likely to break based upon a bond so fragile there is no choice but to walk we fought so hard envisioning a life so much better than this dreaming of a future never becoming true -chorus- bridge: now we are here and our time is up the last grain of sand joins the rest interlude: all i ever asked a little bit of courtesy one alone cannot move the world now, here we are and our time is up the last grain of sand joins the rest
