After The Tragedy - Selby's Escape
In the summer every street light glows
revealing all the lies
All the dreams that grew inside you
Shrivel in the light and die
These dreams conceive a fake flawless life
That breaks vertebrate of enduring times
And this fight demands a change of direction
(chorus:)
Let's leave it all behind
And drive 'til morning light
breaks through this never-ending summer night
If a perfect life is waiting
tell me where to sign the line
All the dreams of perfect life
will stay locked up inside your mind
It's more right to reach for these dreams
and fall than stand by and never
try to reach them at all
and my life demands a change of direction
(Chorus)
