After All

I thought I was reaching
That I was finally breathing
Funny how mistaken you can be
When the opposites touch and see
I just need this much
Yet another chance’s touch
I just need to go on
And on and on

Just another wound to suture
My pride slips to the gutter
Giving up ‘til the next daybreak
Doubting how much anguish I can take
Can’t find the reason why I still care
Hoping to wake from this old nightmare
And I just keep going on
And on and on

We're doing this again and again, what for?
Not for money, not for fame
I don’t know, it’s always different, yet always the same
It does not fulfill me, yet it consumes me
Even so, it moves me on

I guess no one cares if I stand tall
Would I dare to surrender? Who knows?
I feel I can’t quit, it’s who I am
I keep going, though maybe there’s no destination at all
Maybe the road is the only thing I know

On every road we stay, every page we lay
Is somewhere we belong
It’s, after all, not about believing anymore
It’s about going on

You just can’t take it no more
What are you still fighting for?
It's all a lie, a beautiful lie
No one sees you no matter what
No one hears you screaming “stop!”
I want to stop the pain but I cannot

On every road we stay, every page we lay
Is somewhere we belong
It’s, after all, not about believing anymore
It’s about going on
When you know you’re alone
And all you got is a song

I'm learning that dreams are not meant to come true
The road keeps leading on in spite of you
So why?!
Maybe the road is all there is tonight

On every road we stay, every page we lay
Is somewhere we belong
It’s, after all, not about believing anymore
It’s about going on

On every road we face, every page we waste
Is somewhere we belong
It’s, after all, not about believing anymore
It’s about going

After all, the show goes on…
