lyrics

How did we get here?
Is this the beginning?
Did we come from better times?
Are we forgiven?
I’ll be there when it’s all comin’ round
Memories in pieces on the ground
Broken hearts under an open sky
This life is wont to get you high

What would they think of this?
What would they think of all my gold?
Could I have made this mess?
Did I make everybody go?
I know that it’s hard to face the day
When you’re cold, tired, and afraid
But you are the founder of your brain
So go out and make the change you want in others

A herald cried, did you hear the sound?
Is this not what we found?
This cycle pulls us round and round, and again
And it works! I know the way
Ship is onward night and day
When it calls I can’t hide the moment
I can’t withhold the nature of this wave

I know that it’s hard to find the time
I know that the heart will finally die
No matter, in darkest night the sun won’t fail to rise
