no conditions
No conditions No exceptions No time to pause and check your reflection Don't know if you'll find a way without a compass or chart No additions No retractions No way to appease all the warring factions No sword to fall upon Nothing will not fall apart No, nothing has ever seemed clear And I know it hasn't been our best year Maybe I wasn't listening, but I never did hear any call No, we never had minds to forget We haven't hit bottom just yet But then maybe There isn't a bottom at all No one is guiding you now, telling you where to go The sky and the plow has erased all your tracks in the snow Nothing and nowhere and no one is not a pretender But remember No surrender No breaking the news No changing the weather No use trying to keep it together No one is telling you you shouldn't feel lonely tonight No answer for the doctor Not not the one that you were after Every test could be wrong, then again Every test could be right No way to be certain There is no one behind the curtain And clicking your heels, no matter how good it feels It won't bring you back home No one is guiding you now, telling you where to go The sky and the plow has erased all your tracks in the snow Nothing and nowhere and no one is not a pretender But remember No surrender No surrender No surrender No surrender No surrender No surrender No surrender
