I been here so long I think that it's time to move...The winter's so cold summer's over too soon. Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow...And I've got some friends, some that I hardly know...but we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world. We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go...

We live on front porches and swing life away. We get by just fine here on minimum wage. If love is a labor I'll slave til the end...I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand, until you hold my hand...I'll show you mine if you show me yours first. Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse. And let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words.

So please don't ask me how I ended up at my wits end and breaking down. Pages torn from books we never read, 'cause we're plugged into this grid. Don't pull this plug right now, or then we really have to live. When I die, will they remember not what I did, but what I haven't done? It's not the end, that I fear with each breathe...It's life that scares me to death...

When we built these dreams on sand, how they all slipped through our hands...And this might be our only chance. Let's take this one day at a time, I'll hold your hand if you hold mine. The time that we kill keeps us alive...Your words won't save me now. I'm at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow. Get a grip on yourself is what they say...Every hour every day...Hands over my ears, I've been screaming all these years.

We came in search of answers. We left empty handed again. Shots fired into the sky are now returning. Where the **** will you hide? Hiding from the laughter in the closet, some alive...but the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light. And now our hands extending outward, quiet comfort they invite...And do we dare take what they offer? Do we step into the light?

Tell me how these things traced with colors filled with black debris
In alleys void of any light where nameless things live out of sight
Down thru the scrapes of the sky past neon words glowing all night
Echoes my name between each car, are you happy where you are?

Blind to this impending fate
We'll let the world carry your weight
Its back breaks with every mile
But we all live in denial

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Can we be saved, has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we've become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine

Let's go!

And so we carry on each day as if our lives were not so grey
While every breath that we take, we only suffocate
Brush past a myriad of scenes of a homeless vet crashed
On Wall Street, a single mom of three, a deadened personality

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I'm blind to this impending fate
They let the world carry their weight
Its back breaks with every mile
But they all live in denial

Can we be saved, has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we've become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right

Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right

Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right

Can we be saved, has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we've become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine

Do you spend your days counting the hours you're awake?
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same
There's a burden you've been bearing in spite of all your prayers
There's a light turned off inside your heart, can you remember what it's like to care?

Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe
So give me the drug, keep me alive
Give me what's left of my life
Don't let me go

Pull this plug
Let me breathe
On my own
I'm finally free
Don't let me go

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way
If you never meant to leave, then you only had to stay
But the memories that haunt us are cherished just the same
As the ones that bring us closer to the sky, no matter how grey

Yet I fall, through these clouds, reaching, screaming
Give me the drug, keep me alive
Give me what's left of my life
Don't let me go

Pull this plug
Let me breathe
On my own
I'm finally free
Don't let me go

This grip loosens but it never breaks (never breaks)
We carry nothing but a name you will forsake
Your words are always there to break my fall (break my fall)
In them I find the comfort to see through it all

Guide me through uncharted waters
Before we lose our way again
Will you be my compass
Until forever, until forever ends?

Knees are weak, hands are shaking
I can't breathe so give me the drug, keep me alive
Give me what's left of my life
Don't let me go

Pull this plug
Let me breathe
On my own
I'm finally free
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Hold on - slow down again from the top now and tell me everything
I know I've been gone for what seems like forever
But I'm here now waiting
To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger
But closer than you think
She said,"just go on to what you
Pretend is your life but
Please don't die on me"

Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down take a step

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I'm think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

Perpetual motion the image won't focus
A blur is all that's seen
But here in this moment like the eye of a storm
It all came clear to me
I found a shoulder to lean on
An infallible reason to live all by itself
I took one last look from
The heights that I once loved
And then I ran like hell

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down take a step

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I'm think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I count the times that I've been sorry
(I know, I know)
While my compassion slowly drowns
(I know, I know)
If there's a time these walls could guard you
(I know, I know)
Then let that time be right now

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Now I'm standing on the rooftop
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I'm think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on the rooftop
Ready to fall

When faith alone is not enough,
To keep our heads barely above,
We look for reason and come up empty-handed.
And when our children fight our wars,
While we sit back just keeping score,
We're teaching murder not understanding now.

We're setting the fires to light the way,
We're burning it all to begin again,
With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands,
We sing for change

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

The lives we bury sons that lay
We'll cancel debts we've yet to pay,
How could we justify anything now,
As long as we blindly obey and do exactly what they say,
We'll have no one to blame but ourselves now.

We're setting the fires to light the way,
We're burning it all to begin again,
With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands,
We sing for change.
