breathing deeply vapor lung
return to me the spark of youth
i was just there yesterday, dreaming of the new utopia
someday we’ll pay to live forever
someday we’ll live to pay forever
the dulling pain shall pass
it lights its flame and travels away
the wayward souls manipulate the path
so they can feel like embers in the ash
someday we’ll pay to live forever
someday we’ll live to pay forever
someday we’ll pay to live forever
someday we’ll live to pay forever
facing the crowded street
facing the street i speak
drowned out by all the sound
thinking to myself of all that surrounds
drowned out by all the sound
i am still recovering
i am still recovering

pushing outward to the concrete jungle
we see a kind of eden
the sun is setting on the wall
brick and mortar that we built with our own two hands
flightless birds it's all in our head
see the children running in the grass
their skyward dreams soon are put to bed
to dream is to live another life
free of consequence, fantasy
flightless birds it's all in our head
we stay firmly planted on the ground
flightless birds it's all in our head
the sky dark and heavy formed an anvil and brought it down

strangers in a strange land
who hide their faces from the sky
gothic silhouette
cuts the sky in half
can't breathe at all
we’re drowning in the rain
there's something in the air
it's falling through our hands
all evaporate
then we’re falling back to earth
floating down that hill
with all of the others
we'll try to swim
if we can find a few who feel the same
there's something in the air
it's pushing us further down the stream
there's something in the air
and there is something missing

once again the same old dream
i am running
running away
once again the same old trap
waiting to hold me back
from waking
something is standing over me
nothing i can see
breathing down my neck
funny enough that over time
the face of evil has grown more teeth
someone please wake me
i've had enough
someone please bring me back to life
to life

say we're not in limbo
we know it's not the same
see it away you stole it
shanghaied to god knows where
say we're not here
say, no we're not here
prisoner of a cold war
dreaming of the great escape
place your fingers on your lips
radiate your silent grace

light began to fade away
the sun eclipsed by a wounded heart
fell into itself
and here we are hiding away
breathing in the gloom
ready to throw it all away
here at the end of what we thought was everything
here at the end we pull ourselves from out of darkness
into the starry night, breathing in a million lights
out of this isolation onto something more
onto something more
onto something more
onto something more

Freccia d'Oro

original innocence original sin to be alive
we came into this place clean as a .45
we knew the world would not be the same
creation is as peaceful as an atom bomb
a few people laughed, a few people cried
most people were silent, that silence
what things we bring to life are nightmares
from that place we wish we hadn’t gone
it’s left our hands out of control
we’ve given form to our own worst fears
we ask ourselves do we burn down our own home
a kind of imagination had seen this place as it had become
something new before our eyes, marveling

you know the sound

it's gonna be ok tomorrow
