Cosmic Symphony

The moon is stained with midnight tears of fortune

Tainted pastures, scarecrows point to no one

My favorite cigarette plays its funeral song

A still life of the world

Shrinking violet wounded by her mother

Old men sleep while porcelain screams take over

And the wolf disguises her undying lover

A still life of the world

A still life of the world

Searching for the air

I took in the sunrise and 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 in my mind's eye but my hands weren't able

Searchin' for the air but it all keeps comin' down, down, comin' down

I'm searchin' for the air but I'm stuck here

On the ground, on the ground, on the ground now

Searchin' for the air but I'm stuck here on the ground now

Searchin' for the air

Searchin' for the air

Searchin' for the air

I'm neither more, I'm 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 ice melting away

Like the sun bringing the morning

And I know... It was all for you

And 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

I'm searchin' for the air

Searchin' 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's stream...

A will to live

I've given love, I've given hate

I've given peace and I've made a war

And I've been scarred by words and swords

But here I am, the will to live

And when I get to walk these streets

Without a burden on these feet

I'll 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

I'm searchin' for the air

Searchin' 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
