The Distance

Verse 1
The sounds that follow silence
Are tearing down the walls
That kept in our forevers
And held up all our dreams
These crowds that follow faces
That they see in their sleep
Blindly watch the ether
As the music turns to screams
Verse 2
The afterglow is f adding
From the fire in our eyes
That now has spread to boxes
Of better days gone by
I know it all seems crazy
These cobwebs wont recall
Theyre taking up the space
Of something beautiful
Chorus
Youll come far away with me
Only poets count to Three
And when everybody knows
You cry all your tears in rows
Close your eyes and close the book
Let them take a second look
Ink and paper we begin
Scratch out everyone thats in
Verse 3
This is where the answers
Get mixed up in illusions
This is where the sidewalk
Gets dumped into conclusion
This is where the voices
Are turning black and white
The is where the plans end
Follow hope every night
Chorus
Youll come far away with me
Only poets count to Three
And when everybody knows
You cry all your tears in rows
Close your eyes and close the book
Let them take a second look
Ink and paper we begin
Scratch out everyone thats in
(Repeat)
