lyrics
Let’s play a game on this patterned swing
Where our lives are buried in fortune and fame
Let’s say that blame is nothing but a tired scheme
And they’ve shot us to death
They’ve shot us to death
But we’re still alive
And the night is where we left it
And the starting line is where we’ve found our chance to survive
Second lives and now we’re back to the beginning
CHORUS
And we will laugh, we will cry
Send our torches to the sky
Where hearts linger and sorrows will drown with the night
We will fly, we will see with our eyes
That there is so much more to this pain
We’re on the mend
But we’re tired of struggling to find purchase to climb
To the top of the lonely peak
Where we’ve stepped on each other only to be
King of a hill that no one can see
Impatiently wanting everything
But one faulty step and we’re back to the beginning
CHORUS
Where our lives are buried in fortune and fame
Let’s say that blame is nothing but a tired scheme
And they’ve shot us to death
They’ve shot us to death
But we’re still alive
And the night is where we left it
And the starting line is where we’ve found our chance to survive
Second lives and now we’re back to the beginning
CHORUS
And we will laugh, we will cry
Send our torches to the sky
Where hearts linger and sorrows will drown with the night
We will fly, we will see with our eyes
That there is so much more to this pain
We’re on the mend
But we’re tired of struggling to find purchase to climb
To the top of the lonely peak
Where we’ve stepped on each other only to be
King of a hill that no one can see
Impatiently wanting everything
But one faulty step and we’re back to the beginning
CHORUS
