The Things We Left Behind (And The Things That Slipped Away)

Neonfly


Nobody’s watching over us
No need to cover our faces
Don’t break the silence
Don’t make a fuss
We’ve got our own hiding places

I’d never let anything come between you and I
I’d rip apart the sky, until the stars align or worlds collide
I’d ride into the darkness, kill the ghosts that hang around your door
Until they never come back no more

The Sun is setting down on us
No one will pick up the traces
Like fading shadows
We turn to dust
Here nothing changes and nothing survives after us

I’d rip apart the sky
Oh, just for you and I
The darkness won’t swallow us
We’re still standing here where all the others lost

This is the path I chose, this is the road I travelled
I won’t let anybody stand in my way
One day
I’ll come back from the edge, my mind will not unravel
I’ll keep on fighting ‘til the end of my days

Until the Sun and the stars collide
Until we’re swept by the rising tide
Until we’re faded and cast aside
And time slips away, but we all must carry on

Yeah, we’ll keep marching on
We’ll find our echoes in the twilight
Where it will just be us
It was flesh and blood now it’s just blood and guts

This is the path I chose, this is the road I travelled
I won’t let anybody stand in my way
One day
I’ll come back from the edge, my mind will not unravel
I’ll keep on fighting ‘til the end of my days

Until the Sun and the stars collide
Until we’re swept by the rising tide
Until we’re faded and cast aside
And time slips away, but we all must carry on
