The Trick Is To Keep Breathing

How can we move on
 With all the scars that numb the soul?
 How can we just simply smile
 While half the world is going down?
 (this time, going down, this time)
 Oh, if love is not enough this time
 What is left to cling to?
 While avidity just grows, the more we know
 The less we seem to care
 All that we can do in this cold
 All that we can do in this emptiness (this emptiness)
 All that we can do in this life
 All that we can do is keep breathing now (keep breathing now)
 All that we can do in this light
 All that we can do on this winding road (this winding road)
 All that we can do in this life
 All that we can do is keep going on (keep going on and on)
 So many times we blindly throw away
 What has been given
 And even more times we surrender to
 The writing on the wall
 (this time, it's going down, this time)
 And you and me holding a plain truth
 That change is no illusion
 But in the wake of circumstance we'll walk on to
 Where the story ends
 All that we can do in this cold
 All that we can do in this emptiness (this emptiness)
 All that we can do in this life
 All that we can do is keep breathing now (keep breathing now)
 All that we can do in this light
 All that we can do on this winding road (this winding road)
 All that we can do in this life
 All that we can do is keep going on, going on and on
