A broken gaze from the low candle light
casting your shadow against the relief
with charcoal and pieces of clay
I drew the perfect portrait of you
that way when you leave
a piece of you will stay right here with me
with charcoal and pieces of clay
I drew the perfect portrait of you
that way when you leave
a piece will be right here with me
we stalled for hours
I recall it like it was yesterday
I reach for your face
but all I can reach is the space you once stood
your portrait remains engrained in my eyes
looks like hers would never tell a lie
let's not grow old, let's just stay here in time
I know I've seen this before
but I'm still wanting it more
I'm glad I get to see you when I'm dreaming
When I wake you're already gone
and I'm still here left alone
I'm glad to see you right here in this picture
we stalled for hours
I recall it like it was yesterday
I reach for your face
but all I can reach is the space you once stood
your portrait remains engrained in my eyes
looks like hers would never tell a lie
let's not grow old, let's just stay here in time
let's just stay here in time
your features
from this portrait I've made
your details
I can no longer save
let's just stay here in time
we stalled for hours
I recall it like it was yesterday
I reach for your face
but all I can reach
is the space you once stood
your portrait remains engrained in my eyes
looks like hers would never tell a lie
let's not grow old, let's just stay here in time

don't worry friend, you'll never be alone
just turn it up, the watts will lift my spirits
oh
we are the souls, I swear to god
we thrive
yeah
we are the young hearts that die tonight
we are the echoes of an era
ride it hard 'til our knuckles break
cue the grand finale
we'll all be feeling this tomorrow
so throw me west into the ocean
or east into the streets
I'll find myself a little warmth to keep me going
in the tides, in the dark
is better than this cold
which will only turn us all to stone
journey
living
times
hearts
brothers
blood
my skin has been worn, but it's much too thick to break
I always come back swinging
it's not the way I was raised it's the way I was born
the way I was born
like a tank I won't die
so listen,
don't tell me this won't go
I'll never die
I'll never die
we'll all be feeling this tomorrow
so throw me west into the ocean
or east into the streets
I'll find myself a little warmth to keep me going
in the tides, in the dark
is better than this cold
which will only turn us all to stone
journey
living
times
hearts
brothers
blood
we'll meet up soon my friend, the night will save me
with no destination, the street lamps will lead the way
ship off this corpse when I am through
and then we will all take the dive

As it is revealed I still sit in question
belittling myself every chance I get
only to be swept up in it all
after we've met
signing up was just the start
arriving here was just the beginning
arriving here was just the beginning
I should have known right from the start
that things would be different
should have known right from the start
that things would be better now
it's an open ocean and we'll all drown
a chaotic turn of events
you're not around, it's all in my head
but now I'm hooked like the fool I can be
and now I'm hooked
so what?
now I'm hooked like the fool I am
Now at the end I'm still asking questions
I should have known right from the start
It's now or never.

that's all,
these arms can't carry this head up high
a fragile grain, to know that this heart is still waiting
lacerate like fire
seal the wounds with steel wire
these wings unweave
and unfold
night air burns the skin
wasn't meant
wasn't meant for winter's wind
hold on
no warmth here from the sun
so hold on
there's no warmth here from the sun
we heard it live
all our eyes witness to
all these people all falling from the sky
and I couldn't wait to see him pay for his sins
and that wrath will surely come for him
we took the dive, we'll hit the ocean floor by night
we held our breath
stayed until we reached the end
this home
there's hope..
That's all our minds are made
Seal the wounds with steal wire
That's all our minds are made
Seal the wounds with steal wire
There is hope
this home there's hope, there's hope
this home there's hope, there's hope

the sky, the glass on the street
everyone, 1, 2, 3
and tonight, the glass on the street
everyone, 1, 2, 3
go
we still struggled to find ourselves
and struggled to uncover
will a thousand volts
revive us both?
sky claim these battered bones
I will now take off this blindfold
finally see where we are going
one less chance
there's nothing more for me
get me out alive
save my soul
save my soul, save my soul
one more time
it's what it is,
but at the time it was an endless ride
I'm weightless, and taking flight
carry the world over my shoulders
as best I could
exceeding speeds, she's on the threshold
looking in
I pass right by
and now I lye here trying to reason why
(I will now)
I will now
lift the blindfold
which has covered my eyes
and I'll gaze into the sun
'til I begin to see the ashes from my shadow
was the burning of my soul
now I'll take off the blindfold
which blankets my eyes
and I will gaze into the sun
to see the ashes of my shadow
it's what it is,
but at the time it was an endless ride
I'm weightless, and taking flight
carry the world over my shoulders
as best I could
exceeding speeds, she's on the threshold
looking in
I pass right by
and now I lye here trying to reason why
as the ticking clock had stopped at 10:00
and I had closed my eyes
I know the sound was only keeping me from you
through smoke and mirrors I will never reach the end
though I had tried
the door was open, you were out of sight
a dead connection, all I want to do is call her
remember the sound, sound of something real
and once again
we have changed everything
put the pieces back to make a whole
one more chance to right the wrongs

you are such a hypocrite
it's shit like this that keeps me up nights
you think you know everything
you think you're on top
it's all your fault we're in this mess
disbelief is my only reaction
an absolute destruction of trust
depreciation, intimidation,
lust
I know you, I know your secrets
I know your ambitions
I know you, your troubles
I know your truths
(HEY HEY HEY)
I guess it's true what they say
(HEY HEY HEY)
if you want something done right then do it yourself
he'll tear them all down
until there's no one left
as we challenge the sun
as we burn out like stars
get your head straight
c'mon
do what you got to do man
get your head straight
you've grown so blind
too blind to see
it's all in your actions
not up to me
not up for discussion
it's not up for reason
not just a distraction
don't hold your breath
can't shake this feeling
don't lose your head
can't find a solution
I won't help you out
this time around
it keeps on running through my head
I won't keep trying to save you
I wont help you this time around, liar
why are you the only one?
you're deceitful
just another point of your idiocy
you'll turn us both to ghosts
I swear
you'll turn us both to ghosts
I'll say
this is the longest day of the year
this is the longest day of the year

cause in circles we run
the distance was just
but we are waiting around for something
that would never come to us
cause our hands grew tired
wearing thin
wearing thin
and by now
you should know by now
the very roots we've made
embed us in the ground
the ground we lay
believe me dear
I did not mean to break your heart
but these broken bones
have all but fell apart
I've seen the biggest buildings fall
now it's up to me to be stronger than ever
I know by now your end is near
well you better run you better run for cover
time to resign
from this position
now here we are the two of us
standing face to face
one hand on your throne
and one hand on your throat
your ship has run its course
the horizon will be the sign
you better watch your step
or you will be left behind
you better watch your step
or you will be left behind
you better watch your step
or you will be left behind
believe me dear
I did not mean to break your heart
but these broken bones
have all but fell apart
believe me dear
I did not mean to break your heart
but you will be left here
bleeding from your eyes
it's like trying to
fight for air
tied to anchors
drift to shore
somewhere I can keep on breathing
in this water
As far as we've gone,
we'll never get back there
