It might be calming to look down at the waves when you're sailing You lean too far you might fall in against the walls that hold you tall But I know it's easy to look up at the stars, but I am begging you please, don't you forget about Mars It's the closest chance that we've had to finding a life that's not so bad anymore These premonitions: I must build an ark Your superstition keeping you away from the dark: how it is best to ignore the force driving your course You might just find those paper hearts, they are so close to mine But compared side-by-side you see the imperfect lines. You can tell mine are worth less You see me at my best Static moments charged, they cannot hold our train of thought As we grow old our mentor melodies will come into our own And if all those that say we're stuck out of time were truly lost Then I'd be defined as one of the few humans to move past their errors Don't you go the way of Rome, never finding a home Just do the best you can, don't you grow up to become a man It's lost in history With a double take you would see now as my enemies grow my emptiness goes You imagine yourself at your best, until you realize you are part of the rest How it burns to be left unused: a bomb with its fuse You might just be the greatest You're the thought in the pause, but any break in the silence will sound the applause An echo through outer space, it seems too out of place Static moments charged, they cannot hold our train of thought As we grow old our mentor melodies will come into our own And if all those that say we're stuck out of time were truly lost Then I'd be defined as one of the few humans to move past their errors Don't you go the way of Rome, never finding a home Just do the best you can, don't you grow up to become a man It's lost in history With a double take you would see now as my enemies grow my emptiness goes You say the kings are dead by the orange and the red leaves falling faster than the sands from the hourglass You thank god for dying; it beats the hell out of trying while you're still around You stand just to curse the ground And you make me worry you want to leave here in a hurry Though this turn is just for fun; the game has just begun Static moments charged, they cannot hold our train of thought As we grow old our mentor melodies will come into our own And if all those that say we're stuck out of time were truly lost Then I'd be defined as one of the few humans to move past their errors Don't you go the way of Rome, never finding a home Just do the best you can, don't you grow up to become a man It's lost in history With a double take you would see now as my enemies grow my emptiness goes
