Someday, babe, we're gonna win this war We'll have enough and never ask for more Someway, babe, we're gonna take things slow If you're leavin', darlin', won't you let me know? The silence around will calm us down When the blood in my mouth is pouring out Pin me down, down, down if I feel like I'm losin' you Take me down, down, down if I feel like I'm losin' you Someday, babe, I'm gonna win this war We'll build a life out of an open door Someway I am gonna take things slow If I'm leavin', darlin', I will let you know

I was out of reach (But I was close to you) I felt an urgency (And that was nothing new) 'Cus time will fly or keep you guessing Then I found my fears (I think I saw them too) I left them underground (I dug that hole with you) And our heads ran wild... You carried your own weight before you fell for me And you lost yourself in rhythm with a dying beat You celebrated loneliness 'cus it's sometimes what we need Looking back, we did all that we had to So now you're all I need (And now I sleep alright) You stole my heart (I let a feeling die) 'Cus time will always leave you waiting I was on my feet (And I had left the ground) I planted all my seeds (I let the rain fall down) And our heads ran wild...

Seems like fun we'd make in these moments No one knew it change our lives At times it felt like it had been broken But keeping faith we held on tight And when we play downtown We’ll watch our sins fall on the floor These thin walls knew all our first lines But quick to tell we'd wish to hide It wasn't long till our first time Nervous hands unveil what we'd write They'd never know All we'd risk and throw, to the wind Aint it crazy how things turn out as they do You and I both know that I, I was always meant for you The different names we were called, they gave us a chance to prove May your heart always reside in the golden hours of youth But when we go downtown We knew that soon we would feel alright Aint it crazy how things turn out like they do You and I both know that I, I was always meant for you All the different names we were called by those who knew May your heart always reside in the dancing days of youth You and I both know that I, I was always meant for you

We go down And on our way I feel a change in me The sun will fall The lights spark on And who I was is long, long, gone We go down To Gotham’s rage Strength awakes in me Over water drift the masses In the search for something more Through the tunnels their arriving holding hope Endless Runner The empire island waits for us Slowly stirring Here in the city that we love She tells me I’m enough We go down Fled our cage We want inside the screen Know the ground we walk is sacred Where the great mainlands divide Over water, transformation while we burst Endless Runner The empire island waits for us Slowly stirring Here in the city that we love We stand here waiting to fly Knowing I’m likely to fall I will fall She said it’s the only way The city walls are at your feet The hall of glass is where we'll meet I still believe there’s more to prove All that remains is what we do The city lights, the siren screams Another try for worlds unseen For better days for me and you For better lives than what we knew

Where are we going? Where do we go? No one can tell you Nobody knows Take some time now While we’re allowed While we glow Tell me somehow May the young crowd not grow old So I said maybe Maybe we’ll remember no one But I don’t want to be forgotten You and I must never change Reckless and hopeful The tireless choose The roads that we drive on The time I taught you If they find out Where we lie now We can run Last night in town Leave there no doubt It has begun So I said maybe Maybe we’ll remember no one But I don’t want to be forgotten You and I must never change So tell me sweet thing Tell me where we will be going It’s hard enough to leave not knowing Something's never wash away So won’t you take me away? If we’d only known What we know now Can you still recall? Do you hear the sound? Voices bound by joy Hear them echo out Over radios May they reach you now

The shelter I have is not enough for where we are The moon hides its face every night, afraid to die The calendar tells us to wait inside our cage I'll laugh as they send me to hell for what I've done The frames on the walls they come right down And the light seeping through warms the ground We carried ourselves to the rooms we were born in But the doctors had nothing to say on a planned escape I followed a hole in the earth to wait it out The flames came to eat us alive and here we are The frames on the walls they come right down And the light seeping through warms the ground The lines in the sand are all that's left Of our divided land, so now we rest
