And this is just where I came in
Our cities burning
Broken words
Defined by the way we were
Filling the skies
But right now we are
Paper white picket fences
uptown state
Just dreams held on to
so far out
off sight
Tucked away
We both know
The lies we tell
The day we make
The pain we take
The bad bill we have to pay
Put off till another day
What kind of life is –
What kind of lie is –
What kind of love
Is this?
Would you stay with me,
If I told you the truth
Would you be a little bit closer
Oh I would be here for you
I would that I could
Get close to you
And
She says
She knows
You carry yourself
She says
She knows
He says
He pays the price
They both get theirs
Out of site
Out of mind
And she says
How can you choose what stays and what we give away?
The revelation
For any paradise …utopia
There must be a final solution
For all of us misfits
Outcast
Cut-off
Paper white picket fences
Caught in the wind and rain
She hears the drums
Drumming out
She plays her soul out loud
In the daylight
Too late for repeal
Too fast for dreaming
It’s time for freedom
It’s time for soul
It’s time to shake it out
She’s cast her chains to the ground
Oh sunrise
The tide is coming in
Oh life
The earth is breathing now
I would
That I could
Get close to you…
