lyrics

We are gonna cry out
Until we cannot breathe.
We are gonna raise
Our flaming bottles high.

We'll put sacks over the heads
Of every single doubt,
Pull all the triggers,
Pan the cameras to the sky.

Dance like Che Guevara in Havana
On a sunny day in 1959.
A bloody path behind us, a lot of work ahead,
Ah, but listen as the whirring sound align.
Shining stars exploding through my spine.

All the ashes falling
Through the heavy air
Like confetti
We'll never fully clean.

Sifting out our callings
From sieves of matted hair,
Not forgetting
Our friends' blood on our jeans,

But there is something of unfathomable purpose
Scratched on one of these innumerable pages
And if only I could ever seem to find it
I'd be alright.
Everything I need just out of sight.

And I've hit the point where all the fighting's done
And now I've got to build.
Stand up, make the tough calls.
Be ready or be killed.

And there's a moment of extraordinary insight
Hidden somewhere in these years of filth and pain
And it's nagging like a word I just remember
But never find,

And there's some great romantic cosmic truth
Tucked away inside those dreams that make me cry,
But it's always in some out of focus corner
And I am blind.
Everything I need lost in my mind.
