Dreams Die For The Sake Of Other Dreams

from Unremembered Year by That Dream Was Our Life

/

lyrics

New Year's lights & six degrees of night
But nothing touches you
Invincible & frozen as the city
A beauty that feels like destiny & truth
California burns like heaven's justice
Sand fires cloud the interstate
I could tell you I went back 'cause I had promises to keep
But the truth is no one asked me to stay

What do you think you're gonna find
Do you really think you're running for your life
The lion has no hatred for the lamb
The future has no message for the past

Icy streets & snowflakes on your cheek
We pursue the things we must possess
The snowman outside the bar begins to weep
He cries, "Is it wrong to love the world as it is?"

What do you think you're gonna find
Do you really think you're running for your life
The lion has no hatred for the lamb
The future has no message for the past

Love's the chill that never leaves your bones
The sunlight that never keeps you warm
"I miss you," said the fisherman to the sea
"But dreams die for the sake of other dreams"
