Infant self in the bedroom crying
Will you hold him, will it be enough?
Childhood self in the mirror whining
Let him be, or make him grow up?
Teenage self in the headlights
Give him some advice?
Advice!? I'd kick his fucking ass!
You can stare into the sun
Fight battles lost or won
But no matter how devout
Sometimes the best route
Is just to cut all ties and run

Can you feel it?
Moving onward
Can you feel her?
Moving onward
Patroness of
Impossible Causes
Hear my plight so
It can be forgotten
If old horizons lead to sunken ships
Will I know if this is there all this
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go

You're my patron saint
I've got a piece of your bones
And other trinkets I stole
From memories of our youth
Still don't know what to do
You're my patron saint
No response at all
What's that say for my cause?
Out of spite when we're through
I'll still name my kid after you

My confessional days are over
I'm sorry Father, I'm getting older
It's hard enough being a one-way lover
I tire of being her good soldier
I'm moving back up to San Anselmo
I'll fake my death where the weather's colder
This time I'll really leave
But no matter how I plead
The tide turns against me
I'll be back on my knees
For you within the coming weeks

Can you feel it?
Moving onward
Can you feel her?
Moving onward
Patroness of
Impossible Causes
Hear my plight so
It can be forgotten
If old horizons lead to sunken ships
If I stay here, will you give a shit?
Infernal war, plague me nevermore
I'm moving forward!
If old horizons lead to sunken ships
Won't somebody tell me if this is all there is
Let me go, God
Let me go
Something's bound to happen
If you let me go

This crusade has a hundred years of
Innate strength but it's not enough
Play villain for a different hero
It's all the same, it's not enough
The tide turns against me
I'll be back on my knees
For you within the coming weeks
