I used to think that rock and roll could really change the world

Our shadows drew closer till they touched on the ground
emotions on the brink, never quiet always loud
burning in my sacrifice,a furnace of desire...
footsteps feeling heavy as i tap across my life
i long to see the daylight to get out of this night
frustrations setting in as feelings getting higher...

airports, tickets, aspirations slide my life across the floor
never here and now, always wanting something more
when did tomorrow become more important than now?...
used to strafing through with my focus ever tuned
never one to worry no matter what the tune
signals crossed within as i amended me for thou...

something ever better when slightly out of view
out with the old and in with the new
is this the way its always been or am i running late...
are there any answers or am i locked in a dream
are things always better than they really seem
must i cheat reality cause i don't believe in fate?...

i only know one thing and thats iv found something true
others laugh from offstage but they haven't got a clue
how can things be wrong when feeling so right...
never one for compromise or ever second guess
i know when i see virtue however badly dressed
better to go in a blaze than quietly in the night...

so one drink for my sanity, that i pawned for a locket
i once held a silver star and had it in my pocket
but nature being nature squandered easy paths...
Ive had enough of compromise or even easy deals
i acquired a fallen angel that never lost her zeal
true beauty never dies but always ever lasts...

i used to think that rock and roll could really change the world
i used to think fairy tales were just for little girls...
I was wrong.
