lyrics

Saw them stand at a distance, as if any one of them could really break your fall.
Like, she retreated, for instance, when the walls surrounding you were much too tall.

When the fighter was silent, all the meddling masses could dry their eyes.
And they all look enamored; and they all look like they couldn't be more nice.

Scream out over all of the noise how you need these perpetual joys, how they bring out the beast in the boy, and the man is lost in the light.
Remember, for every stride that you endure, the future is mostly blurred by the way we were.
And so it goes...

Did you mean to insult me when you tell me that there's nothing left that you can do?
You could ask her forgiveness, and no one would ever notice, but it's not like you.
Penny for all of your thoughts, love. For a moment I could see your heart breaking through.
It's the shield and the saber; it's the truth and the labor of an honest view.

Scream out over all of the noise how you need these perpetual joys, how they bring out the beast in the boy, and the man is lost in the light.
Remember, for every stride that you endure, the future is mostly blurred by the way we were.
And so it goes...

Scream out over all of the noise how you need these perpetual joys, how they bring out the beast in the boy, and the man is lost in the light.
