lyrics

I. Fall

Passion undone, kindness erased
And I don't see you anymore
Feeling a presence I don't want to face
When I don't feel you anymore

You say you never wanted to hurt anyone
But every choice that you make destroys something
Flying betrayed by the things that you've done
You wanted to fall in love
But ended up falling further
And I'm a victim of time
Left behind for stiller water

Shallow consolation, I haven't done anything wrong
And you won't see me anymore
With a world too small and a life too long
You were fearing the climb
You should have been afraid of the fall

II. Crash

I've asked if we're channeling
Your dreams the same as mine
I've asked it only to myself
And wasted precious time

Cause getting sentimental
Is the only mortal sin
Unnatural enhancement for the semi-hard times
That we're living in

I've asked about survival
Or is there something more?
I've seen that ideaology
And all that came before

Sacrificed upon the altar
Of war and loss and wounded pride
Cause everyone's reduced to their
Glory holes and pilot lights
With only one thing left to ask

Wide open spaces, wide empty nights
We've got nothing to say, but we can't stop talking about it
So many places, we'd rather hide
We've got nothing to say, and we can't stop talking about it
Wide open spaces, wide empty lives
We've got nothing to say, and we can't stop falling further
And there's only one thing left to ask

The only thing left to ask is how long will we burn when we crash
The only thing left to ask is how fast will we burn when we crash

III. Amazed

I will go out west, I will learn to fly
I will see the desert from above before I die
I will find the silence, I will find the peace
I will know my diety and I will be released

Just hang a left and keep on going
It's a different world today, and I stand amazed

This life came so close to never happening
All of this and all of us came so close to never happening

Finally been pulled from this nightmare
I swear I'm never ever gonna be a tourist again
So everybody gather round
I'll share what I found today
And we will stand amazed
