Photograph the sunset; it’s the last you’ll see this time Let’s toast our enemies and tell the stories of our lives It’s time to plan our exit, make it out without a sound The city’s left in ruins; we’ll make sure to burn it down We’re dancing on the balconies with the city in our eyes Garbage fires burning as we looked out into the night There’s static on the TV screens so we’re just killing time The songs we leave behind become the stories of our lives Waiting out the winter; it’s the life you live this time Let’s tell the stories of our lives It’s time to plan our exit, make it out without a sound The roads are filled with danger and not a thing can slow us down We won’t be backing down tonight We’re dancing on the balconies with the city in our eyes Garbage fires burning as we looked out into the night There’s static on the TV screens so we’re just killing time The songs we leave behind become the stories of our lives We are more than just survivors waiting on the dawn And when our time has come we’ll know that we have lived it all Out there on the streets we used to navigate the dark But this is just our playground and this is just the start We’re dancing on the balconies with the city in our hands Garbage fires burning, this was everything we planned Our lives are more than TV screens so we’re not wasting time The songs we leave behind will be the stories of our lives

While your home flag flies All those tears in your eyes Are as much for your own life As they are to be alive And the hunger you feel (it’s all right, it’s all right) Deep down inside because it means that you’re alive I can’t keep waiting for a sign that I’ve lived my life It lights the fire and the violence I hold inside These scars don’t fade away with time (they save our lives) The danger of living life When the last shred of hope has been shorn away Charge ahead with disregard, no heavy heart And your greatest story (my brother, my brother) Will never be of death, just greatest victory So sick of waiting for a sign that I’ve lived my life It lights the fire and the violence I hold inside These scars won’t fade away with time The danger of living life These scars don’t fade in time Do you even know who you are inside? No, the day you lost your identity was gone No life in your eyes, no strength for the cause I won’t forget what I’m fighting for Never gonna lose this eternal war I’ll wake up tomorrow stronger than before And show you what it means to live for something more All the tears in your eyes and the sweat on your skin Do you remember what it’s like to feel alive again? (Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh) So sick of waiting for a sign that I’ve lived my life It lights the fire and the violence I hold inside These scars won’t fade away with time

Dancing with Fate in the black of the night Between here and abandon she asked for a light She’s just a tease on the nights I get so close I can almost feel her reach me but I guess we’re all just ghosts Are we just men trying to escape? Are we nothing more than ghosts searching for a sacred place? What good are scars to a ghost? Maybe he needs them the most He wears them on his heart, he’d rather disregard Wishing on stars I asked Fate for some luck Between here and abandon on a blanket looking up She’s just a tease on the nights I get so close I can almost feel her reach me but I guess we’re all just ghosts Between here and abandon Between a ghost and a man Are we just men trying to escape? Are we nothing more than ghosts searching for a sacred place? What good are scars to a ghost? Maybe he needs them the most He wears them on his heart, he’d rather disregard I only ever wish she let me in on her secret (her secret) I never understood; she still hasn’t said Are we just men trying to escape? Are we nothing more than ghosts searching for a sacred place? What good are scars to a ghost? Maybe he needs them the most He wears them on his heart, he’d rather disregard

Promising 03:03
I've traveled down this path I’ve made my own Her footsteps used to walk with me; they used to walk me home Her memory is fading; I just relive the past If all we have is tonight, why can’t this moment last? Can we close the distance between our hearts alone? Searching in the moonlight, a place to call our own Look into the night, count the times we felt alive Take my hand; we’ll make this right We’ll navigate by stars tonight Let’s travel back to where it all began These memories play constantly but I don’t understand Her memory is fading; I just relive the past If all we have is tonight, why can’t this moment last? Can we close the distance between our hearts alone? Searching in the moonlight, a place to call our own Look into the night, count the times we felt alive Take my hand; we’ll make this right We’ll navigate by stars tonight These red bricks know our secrets (whoa-oh-oh) Our histories and regrets (whoa-oh-oh-oh) Has this been enough? Have I lived or turned to dust? As I’m looking back she’ll be waiting in the past Can we close the distance between our hearts alone? Searching in the moonlight, a place to call our home Look into the night, count the times we felt alive Take my hand; we’ll make this right We’ll navigate by stars tonight

Dreams 03:57
We’re spending nights and nights under the city lights Our days just fade away, as do our lives Nobody understands the endless hope we see To take these waning seconds and turn them into memories We are free to live our lives We’re following our deepest dreams (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh) I’ve never felt this way before; I’m always searching, wanting more (We are free) to be who we want to Just when I thought you’d turn away and walk away That look within your eyes, it told me you decided to stay Nobody understands the endless hope we see To take these waning seconds and turn them into memories We are free to live our lives We’re following our deepest dreams (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh) I’ve never felt this way before; I’m always searching, wanting more (We are free) to be who we want to be We don’t know our fate, though we tell all kinds of lies About how many days we have and the webs we spin in life We don’t know our fate, though we tell all kinds of lies About how many days we have and the webs we spin in life Oh, come on! We are free to live our lives We’re following our deepest dreams (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh) I’ve never felt this way before; I’m always searching, wanting more (We are free) to be who we want to be To be who we want to be (I’ve never felt this way before) Be who we want to

Ghosts 04:44
Do you remember all we had? (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) We felt invincible, not bound to any plans We thought we had the world in the safety of our hands We started writing down our songs so we would not forget Do you feel the wind inside your veins? Will it bring you back to life again? (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh) You always said we’d write a brand-new page and live it every day This is our story to be told We always thought our dreams would never change Our dream was that our lives won’t change but they’ll never be the same We thought we had the world in the safety of our hands We started writing down our songs so we would not forget Do you feel the wind inside your veins? Will it bring you back to life again? (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh) You always said we’d write a brand-new page and live it every day This is our story to be told (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh) Do you feel the wind inside your veins? Will it bring you back to life again? You always said we’d write a brand-new page and live it every day This is our story to be told This is our story to be told
