lyrics

I'M ONE MORE PROMISE

Watching the sunlight burn the shade
Smiling sweet makes the bitter fade
There is a cause I do believe
I always find it chasing me

So give me a moment weights on my chest
There's so much more I must digest
I collect these words and you don't care why
These thoughts I have I claim as mine

Goes faster than the train I'm on
Or as fast as the last bus out of Babylon
You say I mumble keep my thoughts within
I'm one more promise that's never been

For the time I had I have no more
Through imagination I'm searching for
A song from a bird that's just released
You'll find through time no remedy

Goes faster than the train I'm on
Or as fast as the last bus out of Babylon
You say I mumble keep my thoughts within
I'm one more promise that's never been

Time I always need more time
To learn all that I need to find
With all my cards I've thrown aces down
Still need to face the here and now

Every single word every single sign
I captured these moments they're well defined
Though I've been hit by sticks and stones
From then to now is all I've ever known

Goes faster than the train I'm on
Or as fast as the last bus out of Babylon
You say I mumble keep my thoughts within
I'm one more promise that's never been

Goes faster than the train I'm on
Or as fast as the last bus out of Babylon
You say I mumble keep my thoughts within
I'm one more promise that's never been
I'm one more promise that's never been
I'm one more promise that's never been
I'm one more promise that's never been
