Burns Out Bright Lyrics: Distance And Darkness
Linkage Action
What are Ponderation Creations?
Crowded Streets, Empty Skies
Under blue skies, we live, unaware, of greater things that lie above. And every night, we
engage systems that make us sleep away our only chance to see a universe displayed for
us. We only look above when we hear of a day no planes would fly. And I still try to find
a way that I can hope to stay. And all this has a subtle feel of something that doesn't
need to be here. And all this has a subtle feel of something that doesn't need to be here.
Among these stars, all we are, are simple things breathing in oxygen and inching toward
the day we die. They say all innocence is lost the day you know you die. Under blue skies.
In distance and darkness, I still hope to find something that I can't seem to define in
all this empty sky. Night falls, and we all realize the sky's not so empty after all.
Our Proudest Moments
In perfect stillness, and quiet night, I look out west and just see sky. All my life,
praying for better days. No longer young, this song's been sung too many times before and
it's too late to go back, and change my ways. I'll sing this song, a song of praise. Of
days gone by and better days as I grow older. I try to seize the day, but I just seize up.
You break down my desire. So, all my life I've tried so hard to make amends, mend my
ways. I try to seize the day, but I just seize up. You break down my desire. So, all
my life I've tried so hard to make amends, mend my ways. You make me content with
discontent. You let me know that I'm not alone, and I can always rest my head on your
shoulders. I shut my eyes and breathe you in, and just tonight, I want to die 'cause all
my life I'm praying for better days. I need to know if I add up. If I am what I'd always
hoped. I feel so small as I get older. And if we take our proudest moments and stand them
up against the rest of all our days would we be satisfied and could we say "I am so
much more than the sum of all my parts."
Watership Down
Well I'm counting down the days 'til you say that we can talk again, and then I try to
reason. Please don't hang up now. I just need a moment. I've cried my last I swear.
So,
please hear me out. And I just cant wait for tomorrow, to feel alright about myself. I
always wait for tomorrow, tomorrow is my whole life. If I can make it through (the next
five minutes, I might be), be alright tonight (for just one night, for just one night).
Never again will I be content. (its not alright. its not alright) It's a conflict between
my.. my head my heart my... and I just cant wait for tomorrow, to feel alright about
myself. I always wait for tomorrow, tomorrow is my whole life. My head, my heart, my
hands! Sinking never felt so right to me before because I know you would push me down.
Please just tell me maybe we can work this out because I cant take this anymore. You say
its alright. It's not alright. It's not alright. It's not alright.
Something I Can Steal
I want to let you in. I want to want your skin. I've seen in you, something I can steal. I
was on my way to something new, just like you before. All this changed, began to feel the
same. It's expected that you lie, despite your empty eyes. and on and on it goes to show
you always know you're right. It's expected that you lie, despite your empty eyes. and on
and on it goes to show you always know you're right. You're scared something's changed, I
fear its all the same. I need in you, something new to feel. I was on my way to something
new, with all the hurt in mind. I've seen in you, what I've left behind. It's expected
that you lie, despite your empty eyes. And on and on it goes to show you always know
you're right. It's expected that you lie, despite your empty eyes. And on and on it goes
to show you always know you're right
(you...know...you're...right...right...right...right...right.). I've said it a million
times, I'm leaving, I'm leaving. I seem to always change my mind. I'm screaming. I'm
screaming. (and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on) I've said it a
million times, I'm leaving, I'm leaving. I seem to always change my mind. I'm screaming.
I'm screaming.
Twenty-Two
Twenty-two times around the sun I've been, and I linger around the moon (the moon).
Twenty-four hours and I'll be right back where I started, and there's nothing else.
Twenty-two times around the sun I've been, and I linger around the moon. Twenty-four hours
and I'll be right back where I started, (the forget-me-nots you leave behind,) and there's
nothing else (are killing me.). Twenty-two times around the sun I've been, and I linger
around the moon. Twenty-four hours and I'll be right back (right back) where I started,
(the forget-me-nots you leave behind,) and there's nothing else (are killing me.).
Twenty-two times around the sun I've been, and I linger around the moon. I promise not to
stay here. I promise that I'll try. (the forget-me-nots you leave behind are killing me.)
Although I always seem to miss, the target is in my sights. Twenty-four hours and I'll be
right back where I started, and there's nothing else. Twenty-two times around the sun I've
been, and I linger around the moon. Twenty-four hours and ill be right back where I
started, and there's nothing else.
Prodigal
Flashing lights in my eyes, reds and blues, set the mood. As I rise, you just lie. Snow
turns to red, you just lie. I smell blood, you just lie. My friend, goodbye. And I try to
look away, felt wrong not to stay. curse this day! And I tell you get up, get up, get up
from your circle snow bound grave, all drenched in red. Tears of joy because I'm alive,
sleepless nights because you just lie. My friend, goodbye. We build this, we watch it die.
There comes a time to say goodbye.
