Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now drop yourself
With no concern
On how to breathe
When your mind is burned
[Verse 2]
On optimistic
On overload
Can you shift the heat back
To when your heart grow cold?
[Verse 3]
In severed light
Our souls are damaged
And with that cage
To the cause of light
[Verse 4]
Now I concede
I'll not hear language
Gone optimistic
We're gonna survive
[Verse 5]
We're the tail-end of the sun
To a greener hideaway
There in peace I found my fun
Till I heard the future say
[Verse 6]
I'm in an army
A mega-quake
A force of nature
All hell a-shake
[Verse 7]
Improve our days now
'Cause we might not sleep tonight
Suffused are we
To the cause of light
[Verse 8]
On optimistic
On overload
Gonna shift the feedback
To when your heart grow cold?
[Verse 9]
And though we know why
And know what we must do
Aware of the cracks
And watch us too
[Verse 10]
We're the tail-end of the sun
To a greener hideaway
There in peace I found my fun
Till I heard the future say
[Verse 11]
We're the tail-end of the sun
To a greener hideaway
There in peace I found my fun
Until I heard the future say
[Verse 12]
Would you ever believe my life was
So, fine, so fine, so fine
A bed of roses
And rollercoasters
Would you believe my life was, life was, life was
So fine, so fine, so fine
A bed of roses
And rollercoasters
Would you believe my life was
So fine, so fine, so fine
So fine, so fine, so fine
A bed of roses
And rollercoasters
Would you believe my life was, life was, life was
Alright, alright, alright, alright
A bed of roses
And rollercoasters
