When you see my face
The sun will never shine the same
And the pictures you hang
Will never look the same
I bet it all on glory
And spend my days on trying
To figure out just what the fuck
I’m gonna get for nothing
I never said i’d find a line between
What i want and what i need
It’s still a telescopic dream
(Chorus)
We laid these foundations on wet soil – before the sun would set
Before these buildings made their way – into a slow decend
We walk away
With our heads held high
As these buildings
Become mere stepping stones
Now we travel in giant steps
To bridge this gap
Now we marvel at the ruin
Of our neighbouring foes
As the landscape changes into
A less diverse city glow
But there is hope beyond the horizon
A fracture less world black and white
For us to lead this oncoming front
Still keeping it in sight
(chorus)
And we add to the structure
With our head in our hands
We never imagined what we’d build
With these bricks and sand
(chorus)
