Lyrics


1. FALLING AWAKE

Phantom voices with no words to follow
At the mercy of the cold and hollow
I withdrew into my sanctuary of silence
My defense

In this moment I am just becoming
Liberated from my cell of nothing
No sensation there was only breathing
Overcome oblivion

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can die for
These dreams I make
Like I am falling
I am falling awake

Waves of melodies once forgotten
Like a symphony across the ocean
Never knew that they could hear my calling
Deep within
Crashing, rushing in
Like falling

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can die for
These dreams I make
Like I am falling
I am falling awake

There is no returning to that emptiness,
Loneliness
The dream that lives inside of me
Won’t fade away, it’s wide awake

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
These dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake


2. THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

You wake up
Watch the world go ‘round
You shiver
Feeling upside down
Your heart is beating fast
Pumping blood to your head
Another day to fight
You have a prayer on your lips under the desert sun
And a loaded gun

You remember
That your father said
Stay out of trouble son
And be true to yourself
You’ll be working like a dog
Raise a family
And life will be alright
But now it’s written in the stars if you’ll make it out alive
Out alive

The good die young
There might be no tomorrow
In god we trust
Through all this pain and sorrow
The good die young
The flame will burn forever
And no one knows your name
Bring the boys back home again

It was a quiet day
On the streets of hope
When the bomb went off
At the side of the road
Sounds of breaking steel
An windshield full of blood
No enemy in sight
It feels like in a movie scenes are passing by
It’s your life
