Break hearts and dreams along the way until
A spark will go off and somebody is
Looking out to the view of
A next day, making
Promises to start some search for satisfaction that
Will someday soon come crashing down
Back into emptiness
We're a firecracker shedding sparks fading glory into the dark and
No one will remember.
Our minds get always lost in the tangled details while
The colors are being stripped of their every pigment, we think they
Look brighter to our eyes;
We're losing a battle we didn't know to fight.
Another year or so, what's it gonna do?
We're watching the photographs again.
Asking questions we know we'll never know
The answers to
A twist a turn, we're coming back down the childhood street
past our old house
But we're not allowed in,
We're not going home again.

Fly to another city and wonder what you'll find
Fantasize over what you want and slowly lose your mind.
Tear drops on photo album pages and the
Ink is smearing with apologies flooding your head
Clearing threads of thought and paths of- not
Knowing where to start,
But anyway, we're too late for Hoping
to be welcomed back in to the arms of the ones
We loved and left, so long ago.
Remember their names?
To make amends, you need a sunrise again.
You're reaching with your hands full.
You know you're going to fall.
You needed to get away.
But once you did, well,
Now you're staring at all the dead things wishing
Your memory would live.
Again the air is turning and we're
Losing time, wandering through the orchard of pain.
Growing younger and going crazy,
trying to free ourselves from these old ties.
Yes, we're losing our minds.

Our eyes in our mind are seeing the past;
The blood or the scars?
and the dust-covered everything.
We're making wishes on burnt-out stars.
We wandered way too far.
But we couldn't stay where we are
All the sparks are fading now.
The glow is burning out.
We fell to the ground, feeling nothing all around.
Reasoning what to try,
what to lose,
And saying goodbyes.
As it ignites and falls to ashes, more dust to cloud our eyes.
Take it in our stride,
For the ride of our life
Everything we know will someday be our past
And because of our desires will all
Fall to ash.
