lyrics

The river froze inside the city
These streets are filled with vacant eyes
We're the dreamers who will keep on moving
When the sun burns out over you and I

Never saw a child with so much anger
I've never seen one look so lost and sad
Until I gazed upon the new dysfunction
And saw your empty face the day ambition died

And they say that the dead have nothing but love for the living
This day is gone tonight

Poets die someday and artists fade to grey
And love is here for now but knows it cannot stay
But we're the dreamers who will keep on moving
When the sun burns out over you and I

We are the lantern in the canyon
We are the flicker on the stones tonight
The walls are coated with our best intentions
We are the only thing we've ever gotten right

This is the start of a bigger breakthrough
This is the secret of atomic spin
You are entangled in an insurrection
We are the hole we have created just to fill back in

We all are capable of boundless bravery
And we've been cowards more than once before
These are the hands with which we'll sculpt salvation
Or we're just looking for the notes to guide us there

We are the sound of a new assumption
(full of so)
We are the downbeat hidden in the noise
(much sorrow)
Ungrateful product of your own reflection
(it brings me down)
We are the id that swims beneathe your skin tonight

And when we've got it we will someday lose it
(so sweetly it stung me)
But leave a tribute in the darkened sky
(to hear what we know)
We are the dreamers who will keep on moving
(ooh)
When the sun burns out over you and I
(I'll try)

When the sun burns out over you and I
When the sun burns out over you and I
When the sun burns out over you and I
When the sun burns out
