lyrics

Plastic laughter is what they’re after
Seeking meaning for these empty words
Crooked smiles around the table
Making fables up through out the day
Worms are crawling inside the apple
Dancing bears go waltzing across the sky

I know none of it’s real
It’s just how you feel
Imagining things getting in your face
I know you haven’t seen
But that’s just how things have been

All our best days rest behind us
Golden hours wait around the corner

So can you see the light of a thousand suns
Vaporize the darkness in your memory?

On our sailing ship we’ll shoot for stars beyond our wildest dreams
Take away the pain you cause by making up these enemies
Blinding light from distant places filters through the atmosphere
We are all the light keepers inside of our own destiny
