Unwilling To Settle by A Tragedy In Progress Lyrics

They spend all of their spare time
Rehearsing their songs all night (forty hours a week at work)
But thy never have a penny left for rent

They spend it all one thing
Something they call everything
They stay focused on their dreams
Hoping it's worth the work and the money spent

And the lights come on
And the curtain opens
And they see the fans
One, two, ten

Ten people in the audience screaming for them
One for each week of practice they put in
Wishing so bad that they could skip this step and just have it all
But you can't survive the fight unless you learn how to take a fall

Their friends all call them crazy
Their family says they're just lazy (mocking what they say)
But every word they said they meant
While the years pass by like nothing
Their quote "friends"
They leave like nothing
They stay focused on their dreams
Hoping it's worth the work and the money they spent

And the lights come on
And the curtain opens
And they see the fans
One, two, ten thousand

Ten thousand people in the audience screaming for them
One for each day of life they put in
Now they're always telling everyone to enjoy the ride
Because you can't learn lessons you need watching from the side

Unwilling to settle
We're better than ten
Ten thousand people separate
The boys from the men

Unwilling to settle
Unwilling to settle
