Cosmic Symphony - Flying Colors

I. Still life of the World

The moon is stained with midnight tears of fortune

Tainted pastures, scarecrows point to no one

My favorite cigarette plays its funeral song

Still life of the world

Shrinking violet wounded by her mother

Old men sleep while porcelain screams take over

And the wolf disguises her dying love

The still life of the world

The still life of the world

II.

Searching for the Air

I took in the sunrise and I tried to save it

I looked through my own eyes and I thought I’ve made it

I thought I could reach the sky, but I’m stuck here on the ground

I wanted to drink wine from the captain’s table

I saw it in my mind’s eye but my hands weren’t able

Searching for the air but it all keeps coming down

Down

Coming down

I’m searching for the air but I’m stuck here on the ground

On the ground

I’m searching for the air but I’m stuck here on the ground

Searching for the air

III.

Pound for Pound

Neither more, neither less

And I’m not trying to take some test

And I’m not trying to prove myself

And I’m not trying to run away

Away from you

In all these years I’ve seen the changes take place

Like the eyes melt in a way

Like the sun bringing the morning

And I know

It was all for you

When I get to walk the streets

Without this burden on my feet

I know I’ve been called home

These shoes won’t be my own to fill

When I see the past beneath

My heavy heart is finally free

Searching for the Air

Searching for the air but I have found

It’s pound for pound

Underneath this cosmic symphony

Underneath this pain

This happiness

And underneath the river string

A will to live

I’ve given love

I’ve given hate

I’ve given peace

And I’ve made war

And I’ve been scared by

Words and swords

But, here I am

The will to live

You know, when I get to walk the streets

Without the burden on these feet

I know I’ve been called home

This place will be my own again

When I feel the past beneath

My heavy heart is finally free

Searching for the air

Searching for the air but I have found

It’s pound for pound

Searching for the air

Searching for the air but I have found

It’s pound for pound

One day I’ll see you there

One day I’ll see you there but here and now

It’s pound for pound

Pound for pound
