The Stories of Our Lives
03:35

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

Living in Danger
02:54
|

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

Between Here and Abandon
03:18

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

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

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
