Fly, For So Long

A break of day
the fall of the night
See the sky, transform
in all its glory
Would I stay
and would you go?
See us through
these lights overhead
Invested in time
we had too much of
Where’s the return
i can’t seem to find
Memory tucked inside
dusted off
to shine
Where’s it now?
it’s gone from our sights
Break our ties and find out how to fly for so long
high above the buildings, where will we end up?
Let’s watch the earth as it spins out of control
we’re relieved and free…above it all

We Went Wrong
05:02
|
|||
|
We always thought it would pass
We never thought it would fade so fast
We watch the world go by
We don't need to do anything at all
Let us rest easy for once
we never had a chance
Will you remind me of where we went wrong?
I don't have a clue
If we stay around, we'll never know
if this could have been
What was meant to be we won't find out
We always told ourselves
that the end was close
Watching our lives, pass before our eyes
states of disrepair... only make things stronger

Rivers
04:52
|
|||
|
See the horizon
crumble into dust
The ashes of being
resetting this trust
Mountains of hope
unreached by fate
The turn of the tides
in a singular state
See our rivers
dry into sand
The grains of feeling
tempted inside our hands
Swim deeper now - there’s no turning around
Don’t come back
only you know where we are
Looking up
at the passing rivers
Heads down
ashamed of where it’s gone
Staring down
with the flowing tides
We never gave up
til it broke completely

Real To Me (v2)
04:39
|
|||
|
Never did I think
it would last forever
Never did I think
it'd fade this fast
And what did we say
and what did we change again
to remove ourselves
from this picture
This doesn't all
seem real to me
The past leaves the present
and the future looks so uneasy
Always starting again
never trying to look back
Searching for what was
never meant to be
We're flying high
to who knows where
and who will I see
to make it all go away

Souls Intact
05:45
|
|||
|
The oceans below gave way
setting life adrift
A passage in time
set the ways
of the future that passed
Fleeting moments were lost
in translation so fast
Happening right now
at all costs
Sending all these signals
Where do they end up?
Promises etched in stones
unable to move
Water cascades over dreams
Swimming in the river
Farewell to the unknown
It's time to move on
CH: I longed for it all
but it never happened
If I gave it up
for tomorrow
Where would today be?
And would it exist?
Without our souls intact
and ready to burst

In Silence
06:07
|
|||
|
Slipping away in silence
let's go our separate ways
Connecting again, once we're found
when our hearts melt over
Slipping away
in silence

Tried To Run (v2)
05:16
|
|||
|
Wouldn't know what to do
even if we tried to run
It was in and out of focus
right in front me
Reaching and holding
only to let it go
Because I couldn't finish a thought
with you where
Did you all know
if we could stay
frozen in time
You couldn't call today
We should know
if we couldn't stay
What could we do
because it was our fault
Raised up
on a higher ground
Sitting and watching it go
all below
And what are you gonna say
when the sky comes crashing down
We're interlocked
and we'll always shine

Wash Your Fears
04:48
|
|||
|
Reverse this thinking
it’ll only cause you harm
it’s no fault of your own
Lay down let it take over
wash your fears away
The only way to found out
is to let yourself go head
