Lyrics
A vision of you there Standing tall By the gate Everything is new Stare into What is not Yet As your bones grow And you feel the pain In exchange Experiences hang Run round your mind And collide Hang your toes Over the edge Cause you can You can switch your place Hide inside If you try You'll open up your eyes And realize How you fit In the wild A lion is a lion No apologies And a leash Is a leech In the corral You're safe and warm Pass it on to Every sheep Time and time again You stick yourself To accept Someone else Give up the wish Let go of the dream Barricade Fantasy Burn the dogma Let the fire Overtake The desire To define (I will find a way To keep this moment) What's raging (For myself I will find a way) Out of control Like a weed (I will find a way) Like a storm (To keep this moment for myself) Like a virus (I will find a way) Like an ocean Like a silence (I will find a way) An emotion (To keep this moment for myself) Like a darkness (I will find a way) Like a chance
An idea (I will find a way) Like a hurt Like an outrage (To keep this moment for myself) Like a sunrise Like a monster (I will find a way) Like a monster Like a mantra Like a mantra (Nothing be the same) (Nothing be the same) (Nothing be the same) (Nothing) And all of this Will never be the same Again
