–

Fire up my green pilot light

The spiral staircase heats up tonite

We’ll weave a better version of our best

And there’s no way in hell we’ll be caught settling for less

When the stars all seem to misdirect

We’ll climb on through, repair & protect

So come you who’d put us to the test

There’s no prize ‘neath your skies that will see us settling for less

We won’t be settling for less

There’s an old king suspicious of his kind

There’s a shadow that steals little sips of his light

All he needed was hope for some real progress

But he’s stuck setting traps to catch us settling for less

We won’t be settling for less

Now it’s one future versus the past

And we’re standing naked on a new middle path

If the world is really just a big game of chess

Here’s to ‘perpetual’ and we won’t be settling for less

We won’t be settling for less
