The knife he throws Cuts through the willows That drink up all the light Replacing day with night Casting my life in shadows The seeds we sow The highs and the lows Dwell beneath the daylight In atmospheric plight Casting my life in shadows Explosive lights against the night Mirrored in our complacent eyes So unwise, but it's alright We survived Well no one knows But the secret grows Diminished is my sight Like broken satellites Casting my life in shadows With wind in tow As the roaring flames grow But now no longer bright Choked by the rainy night Casting my life in shadows Explosive lights against the night Mirrored in our complacent eyes So unwise, but it's alright We survived Chasing stars like an unhinged kite Until the fog consumed our flight High and dry, but it's alright We survived The knife he throws Cuts through the willows That drink up all the light Replacing day with night Casting my life in shadows

We are tripping on the roadblocks Down streets we've never ventured Be sure to keep the doors locked And your ideas tightly measured Somewhere someone got the news today Was it all they had hoped for Or just their cue to fade away No room left at the table And there's nothing being served Didn't know they capable And didn't think they had the nerve Somewhere someone got the news today Was it all they had hoped for Or just their cue to fade away Trying to stay sane When the whole world is changing Try to be sincere When everyone is faking Try to be open When everyone is taking Try to understand what just one person is saying Is it a force of nature Or a manmade condition Did we leave too much 'til later On this fire-laden mission Just wait until tomorrow We'll be sure to fix it then But question everything you know There's truthfulness in pretend Somewhere someone got the news today Was it all they had hoped for Or just their cue to fade away Trying to stay sane When the whole world is changing Try to be sincere When everyone is faking Try to be open When everyone is taking Try to understand what just one person is saying
