on the warm banks of the river of life
men and women gather with all of their rights
you see those statues, theyre men of frozen will
and were not like them, baby
we will never be still
take a little dive into the river, baby
i dont mind, i dont mind
just take a little dive into the river, baby
i dont mind if we never get out
if heaven seems far away, just let your spirit sway
just let your spirit sway
just let you spirit
it fows through the hearts of stone
it fows in between the bone
it has fowed since the divine exchange
and fows forever, unchanged
river
this is the fnal journey to the edge of ourselves
this is the beginning of the end
took her hand and walked her through
took her hand and walked her into the blue
into that blue
so we walked on water and crossed the felds of burning
sand
but the further we went, the more we became what we
couldnt understand
i was drifting further away
she was lost like a breeze in a hurricane
a hurricane
you know that ive got you in my blood stream
you know that no matter how loud i scream
i still hear your voice in my head
you are the fre burning solo
you are the wind in between the snow
i cant escape you
i cant escape you
go back, go back
fnd yourself a train track
its not too late to go home
passion is this weight on my shoulders
so why did you follow me into this den
when all the bluest stars paint your name
in a sky of black
you must go back
i told you that ive got you in my bloodstream
i told you that no matter how loud i scream
i still hear your voice in my head
you are the fre burning solo
you are the wind in between the snow
i cant escape you , i cant escape you
holy weather
we are the desperate ones, looking for the mark
we are the lonely ones left out here in the dark
we bought our tickets but we dont have a seat
and now were just slaves to the beat
we are the tired ones, tired of too much sleep
tired of searching for the words we cant repeat
i dont mean to scare you but its getting too warm
and i think im going to move to the door
we are burning, this is real
were on fre but we cant feel a thing
we were promised more than we could take
everybody out its a fre escape
gather round my friends, lets try not to pretend
there is a war between the cold out there
and the fre within
i know that were alive, i know that we can dive
right into the thick of it
we are burning, this is real
were on fre but we cant feel a thing
we were promised more than we could take
everybody out its a fre escape
i dont want to fll my body with drugs i cant even name
im tired of feeling the same
i want to feel something
we are burning, this is real
were on fre, dont you feel
we were made to be more than just awake
everybody out its a fre escape
we are burning, this is real
were on fre but we cant feel a thing
we were promised more than we could take
everybody out its a fre escape
fre escape
one by one, the colors drip from the sun
and there he lies, looking through the window above
to get high
on and on, the years roll by, the trees grow high
and he counts everyone, to feel like a part of life
to feel high
move, move, before its too late
move, move, before they close the gate
everythings got a reason, everyones got a place
you gotta move if you wanna stay
if only i could work my way out into light
start over new in a forrest of dark night
move/stay

every walk that ive ever taken has been in your direction
some nights, i awake to a room, plastic and fake
and the sheets smell of you
even though you were never there
and i was never true
and my mouth flls up with the words i own
as if they never found a home
one last thing before i go
one last thing you need to know
every walk that ive ever taken
has been in your direction
im gonna live, im gonna die
im gonna know what its like to be
on the edge of something
cause the robes, the thrones, the cornerstones
will be burned into nothing
and i will know what it means to roam
i will rise like the orange dust of home
one last thing before i go
one last thing you need to know
every walk that ive ever taken
has been in your direction
one last thing before i go
i wanted every part of you to know
the one last thing before i go
i loved you more than..
you will know what i did
im riding down the highway of fallen kings
tires hiss as the engine screams
im like a fugitive alien on the run
but nobody can tell me what im running from
what am i running from
i am the ghost that she passes through
and she is the choice that i can never choose
when am i going to fnd my peace
when am i gonna know
when am i gonna know
what am i gonna do now
im already too far down
when am i gonna free
im just a ghost on the highway
what am i gonna do now
im already too far down
when am i gonna be free
im just a ghost on the highway of fallen kings
highway of fallen kings

spirits in the night
motion in the deep
waters running high
calling out to me
dont know what you want
dont know what you need
dont know if its right
this beauty in the night
strange as it may seem
my body leans on only you
only you
two ships in the dawn
two hands reaching for the spark
just to see what i will fnd in the dark
when i was a boy i dreamed a lot
of wonders i loved but soon forgot
now im old and the dreams have changed
the palisade is all rearranged
but if my bodys a temple thats built from the ground
and my soul is created by the shape of a sound
then all that i lost will soon be found
strange as it may seem
my body leans on only you
strange as we may be
my body leans on only you
only you
shape of a sound
you and i riding down broadway looking for some action
two scattered souls in a scattered world
your hands on the wheel and your eyes searching for
cover but one look from you and its over
one look from you and im over
i cant sleep with this hearts beat thumping in my chest
like an engine
so i gather all my things in the corner of the room
and i light the match and watch it burn to my fngers
but one word from you and its over
one word from you and im over
people try to get what they want
people try to hold it so close
but they dont know that my heart is drift wood
foating down your coast
its been two weeks now, since i walked through
that front door
its been two weeks since i felt your skin
and tonight you wear the spirit like a cover
and one touch from you and its over
one touch from you and im over
its over

we cant grow without getting old
we cant purchase bravery with gold
all of the dreams that we face
before the morning glow
need darkness before they show
comfort is overrated
give me something faded
ive spent my life asleep
i want sweet resistance
i spent the night outside your door in the darkest evening
and in the morning you pushed me away and gave me
no reason
but all of the ways that you run
all of the ways that you keep it going
i cant get enough
cause when all is said and done
you can lay me down on a bed of sun
and i will accept my fate
as i pass through that gate
and all of the reasons why i felt alive in the frst place
will be in the next age
as i turn that page
into another beautiful stage
of sweet resistance
comfort is overrated
giving me something faded
sweet resistance
i ran my hands through my hair
looked behind me, there was no one there
on the road from your house
steady walk, i kept praying
but i dont know what i was saying
i just kept moving toward the sunrise
as much as i wanna be found
please dont fnd me
there are so many things one could say
all the truth you keep away
just to keep from lying by yourself at night
well i traded all my love for this
i traded all my special gifts
now ive got nothing left to trade
as much as i wanna be found
please dont fnd me
cause ive been running for a while
and im used to this by now
you wouldnt want to see a crumbling display
of a man with nothing left to say
please dont fnd me

i saw an add on the television
telling me to stay home
but all the lights on the freeway burning
tell me just to keep going
so now i glide
toward the beauty in the fading light
wasted
i want to get wasted on your love
wasted
drink till the morning comes
remember those rhythms, those places, those songs
that made our souls move
the taste of salt of the earth on our wet skin
weve got nothing to prove
i dont want to fall out
i just want to take you in
im taking it back to the way it was
when we were forming
searching for the genesis
when love was dawning
wasted
cold lips, cold hands, cold feet
on the street, theres no shelter from the hearts beat
faster and faster the winds blow down from the north
sweeping these streets like ghosts on a march to war
a march to war
outside theres a silhouette, changing her name
changing her face every time i look away
we sway in the yellow light
with no more strength to fght
there are so many dreams that fade away
so many lives we just cant save
if you want this so bad
then why do you stand like you do in the doorway
come in, come in, come in
come in
i never wanted anything like i want you
there are so many dreams that fade away
so many lives we just cant save
if we want this so bad
then why do we stand like we do in the doorway
if this is it then why do i wait
all tangled up in the strings of fate
if i want this so bad
then why do i stand like i do
come in
i never wanted anything like i want you
doorway

two by two, they came into that sunlit room
the only church in this town
the only town that i ever knew
i sat in the back row, next to the open door
so i could feel the breeze on my skin
and know that theres something more than just this
i saw her walking down bellmont ave
and from the back window of my fathers car
you waved at me and i waved at you
we kissed after years of waiting
years of holding hands
and i felt something shift inside my soul
that no man could understand
i burn like a church on fre
in the light of the afternoon
i hope you can feel my desire
cause these fames rise for you
one by one, i went through all the things ive done
to get to this place i stand
where i look down and dont recognize my own hands
i wrote you a letter for every day that i was away
but how many words does one man need to say what he
needs to say
yeah, that was me
i poured the gasoline
i lit the match for everyone to see
the freworks in my heart
yeah, that was me
i burned it to the ground
yeah, that was me
i burned it all down
i burned this to the ground
everything that has let us down
everything that has let us down
one by one, i went through all the things ive done
church on fre
they lay on the fake grass
looking up at the fake sky
they held each others fake hands
and they kissed but their lips were dry
all the passion in the universe
couldnt keep then together
he was made of earth and fre
she was made of water
their love will never be free
not until they surrender
the clouds, the moon
they sighed as they looked down on these fgures
clinging to each other yet so unsatisfed
somethings breaking through the atmosphere
how do you explain this fear
that drowns my heart in yours
in you
surrender
