Draw the line In the sand between you and I Consciously, I choose A different reality than the one that you abuse Burn the fields down I won't let you take this from me As the smoke clears we can finally learn to breathe and Outweigh the scales that tipped against us Pull your mind away from infection Avert your eyes as the kingdom falls As history repeats the same mistakes We shield your eyes against the flames Burn the fields down I won't let you take this from me As the smoke clears We can finally learn to breathe I see life through different colors As if my eyes could see through time I feel life through shades of sound A vision forward; seek to find The sweeping flood of gravity (As if my eyes could see through time) A final claw of desperation (A vision forward seek to find) Open up your vision And replace the truth with the needed proof To carry on your mission Breathe to release your demons Have confidence that the losing hand Gives strength to your ambitions Life: The sweeping flood of gravity As if my eyes could see through time Life: Not a choice of if we live or thrive But how we choose to sacrifice Life

As I look to the sky and ponder your life Relieve the pressure building; inhale Exhale; the roots of darkness grow And I’m alone We live in the present but we look to the past You caught the right train but it was on the wrong track Oh, they grow, the branches of your soul Into my dreams, it seems, I’m somewhere in between feeling The grief, relief, my own mortality Ethereal in nature, fought your way out by teeth Sometimes when I’m alone I like to sit and think About your life, and your smile and the way you always gave your best at everything I remember the show in downtown San Francisco We were only sixteen, but I’ll always have the memory If I could see (If I could see) My body’s a vessel, carrying currents at sea (currents at sea), And there you’ll be (And there you’ll be) I’m living for something, something that’s bigger than me Oh, they grow, the branches of your soul Into my dreams, it seems, I’m somewhere in between feeling The grief, relief, my own mortality Ethereal in nature; fought your way out by teeth And it’s your ghost I see And it’s your ghost, I believe The sun sets behind the mountains again The crimson cracks the sky and now I miss you my friend I’ve learned to let go I see your smile everywhere I thought you should be I see your eyes in the face of every stranger

So picturesque; But picture this instead "You've sunk so low, no hope no soul, I never wanted this" I'll try and paint you something pretty But I can't steady my hands I'm stitched together by old dreams And chances I once had So breathe in for comfort I know it won't be easy but I'll find my way home I've fallen through the clouds And stumbled in the stars If my feet could touch the ground They're landing where you are Lately I've felt alive; only when I close my eyes I'm falling apart; the angels start to sing The string's still taught because I never cut through it "I'm changing for the better but you know I can't prove it"* I'm so close this time To leaving it behind Open wide I'm longing for the other side Chemistry everyday keeps the thoughts at bay Black or white? Her gilded tongue and venom eyes Softly she whispered "Say Goodbye" I've fallen through the clouds And stumbled in the stars If my feet could touch the ground They're landing where you are Lately I've felt alive; only when I close my eyes I'm falling apart; the angels start to sing The string's still taught because I never cut through it "I'm changing for the better but you know I can't prove it"* I'm so close this time To leaving it behind And all this time I’ve been thinking that I brought her to life She was a star shone bright, eclipsed by how I felt inside And all this time I’ve been thinking that I brought her to life And now I long for comfort And now I long for comfort Lately I've felt alive; but only when I close my eyes I'm falling apart; the angels start to sing The string's still taught because I never cut through it "I'm changing for the better but you know I can't prove it"* I'm so close this time To leaving it behind Open wide I'm longing for the other side Chemistry everyday keeps the thoughts at bay Black or white? Her gilded tongue and venom eyes Softly she whispered "Say Goodbye"
