Only way to be alive ( unsung lyrics)

hey you pretty friend

meet me in the streets tonight

2012 aint the end

but if it is

we'll be allright

let everybody watch us

as we love for the first time

let everybody learn from our mistakes

let everybody hope or cringe

as we try to love again

make believe on silver screens

its just a dream, its time to wake up

and dance

to music no one hears

crush our flesh together

destroying all our fears

and sing

of strangers in the night

who took a chance on love

even though it always dies

cause thats the only way to be alive

hey you lovely soul

meet me at the sea tonight

let the waves collide with us

and stop us from 

the coming fight

let everybody watch us

as we cry for the first time

let everybody learn from our mistakes

let everybody walk away

knowing how to play the game

make believe on silver screens

it's just a dream, it's time to wake up

and dance

to music no one hears

crush our flesh together

destroying all our fears

and sing

of strangers in the night

who took a chance on love

even though it always dies

cause thats the only way to be alive

once upon a time you were a stranger

and now you are a stranger once again

letting go of silver screens

broken dreams

and memories

and even if its not with me

wake up my pretty friend

and dance

to music no one hears

crushing flesh together

destroying all your fears

and sing

of strangers in the night

who took a chance on love

even though it always dies

cause thats the only way to be alive

Somewhere In Between (unsung lyrics)

is the moon higher than the empire state
have the dreams that we had all gone away
lost with the moolah, lost with the day
day's lost to night, and we dont have a say

in which way fate will lead
running from the moon on the city streets
falling to the ground you can watch me bleed
like a dying soldier who once believed

in everything he fought for
in everything he was
now he's breathing in his last breath
watching the sky fall
down on love

fallin' down down
to the fucking ground
crash my heart
cant hear a sound
like an old damn dog
trapped in the pound
with a silent bark
i'll never be found
as the sky falls down on me
(fallin down da down down da down)
as the sky falls down i see
(fallin down da down down da down)
that i am not awake
but this is not a dream
i'm fallin down
somewhere in between

are we being watched by spies in the sky
pacing back and forth, wracking their minds
why the love that we had is barely alive
why we're born with wings but cant even fly

and see everything we fought for
and everything that was
now we're breathing in our last breath
watching the sky fall
down on love

fallin' down down
to the fucking ground
crash my heart
cant hear a sound
like an old damn dog
trapped in the pound
with a silent bark
i'll never be be found
as the sky falls down on me
(fallin down da down down da down)
as the sky falls down i see
(fallin down da down down da down)
that i am not awake
but this is not a dream
i'm fallin down
somewhere in between

the street below cracks open
the end is here but i'm hangin' round
and for a moment i can feel you
is it just a dream
or am i...

fallin' down down
to the fucking ground
crash my heart
cant hear a sound
like an old damn dog
trapped in the pound
with a silent bark
i'll never be be found
as the sky falls down on me
(fallin down da down down da down)
as the sky falls down i see
(fallin down da down down da down)
that i am not awake
but this is not a dream
i'm fallin down
somewhere in between

 

have the dreams that we had all gone away
is the moon higher than the empire state...

Dream of an anti hero (unsung lyrics)

once upon a time...
does it always have to start that way?
found myself in a bind
like an anti-hero on the silver screen

the storm had broke the sky
and she was all i saw through the blinding rain
even if I was to die
i ran the risk in exchange

for just a piece of everything
that i never knew
they said that i would lose it all
but i had nothing left to lose

i took her in soaking wet
she turned me inside out and then
we dreamed our dreams, we made our bets
and then we lost it all...
she took me down a broken road
i came alive, but sold my soul
now she was gone, i was alone
not ready for the fall
now i'm runnin for my life
but dammit i'm alive
and it was worth it all

now once upon a time...
another day, another story to tell
hangin on by a very thin line
every other day still runnin like hell

kept awake at night
by the silence that calls out her name
to see her eyes one more time
i'd die a thousand deaths, i'd take the blame

for all the stories, that never
got to reach the end
they said that i would lose it all
but i would do it all again

i took her in soaking wet
she turned me inside out and then
we dreamed our dreams, we made our bets
and then we lost it all...
she took me down a broken road
i came alive, but sold my soul
now she was gone, i was alone
not ready for the fall
now i'm runnin for my life
but dammit i'm alive
and it was worth it all

the greatest hearts and minds

all the greatest hearts and minds
tell me not to worry
as the world falls apart around us all
but that's besides the point...

excuse me while I stop the epic chorus
whose words at just the right pitch
that is slightly off
is demanding me to live with passion
even as i lay in my own fluids
not being able to move
no matter how fast my heart talks
telling me
I'm Alive I'm Alive I'm Alive

all the greatest hearts and minds
tell me...no, that was besides the point...

what is the point?
excuse me while I stop the dream
that dances on my soul
like my soul is inanimate or...
like of course it can take a beating
because it's going to live forever anyway?

all the greatest hearts and...
stop there.
focus on the beat.
in synchronicity
pounding swiftly
in the dark
pressed together

all the greatest hearts and minds
vanish, and leave us
with only now

that's the point.

excuse me,
while I step into the street
with the sure footed irony
who's only now
is a memory
of tomorrow...

and she walked in the rain
to the corner deli
as flickering streetlights
made me jealous of the
shadows that danced with her

excuse me,
while i vanish
with the greatest hearts and minds
to a shadow land
and learn to dance
and listen
to only
a beat
that
carries
me
to
you
