lyrics

I've been chasing, the same old yellow lines
Searching for something new to find
I've been writing, journalistic blues
While watching the nightly news that we've all seen
But what is life, I've been screaming from the edge
Or at the river bend for years

And it comes, in the form of wind in the air
Or at the edge of a front that it pulled in

I've been running, trying to catch myself
to finally break my shell of opinions
What is hell, constantly going in reverse
Holding on to verses of different lives
But what is life? I've been screaming from this edge
Or at this river bend for years now

And it comes, in the form of wind in the air
Or at the edge of a storm when it rolls in

And when we run, to the burning sun
The fire in the air, it makes us alive
And when we retreat, through the moonlight streets
We'll take these words and shape our future.
