Carry On

Still, I stand as the world passes
Imaginary flashes of what we'd become
Promises never made and prophecies unfulfilled
It's not a disappointment so much as we should think
New beginnings bring new hope
Predictions will remain, as always, incorrect
And more disappointments than one year should contain
But again, the end's in sight, and another beginning ahead,
So carry on this endless endeavor
And always keep searching for something better
We may never find it, but that chance is enough
To keep us all clawing for the diamond in the rough

And actually, I didn't get the title from Welcome To The Black Parade.
