Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Under a blackened sky
Far beyond the glaring streetlights
Sleeping on empty dreams
The vultures lie in wait
[Verse 2]
You lay down beside me then
You were with me every wakin' hour
So close I could feel your breath
[Verse 3]
When all we wanted was the dream to have and to hold
That precious little thing
Like every generation yields
A newborn hope un-jaded by their years
[Verse 4]
Pressed up against the glass
I found myself wanting sympathy
But to be consumed again
Oh, I know would be the death of me
[Verse 5]
And there is a love that's inherently given
A kind of blindness offered to appease
In that light of forbidden joy
Oh, I know I won't receive it
[Verse 6]
When all we wanted was the dream to have and to hold
That precious little thing
Like every generation yields
A newborn hope un-jaded by their years
[Verse 7]
You know if I leave you now
It doesn't mean that I love you any less
It's just the state I'm in
I can't be good to anyone else like this
[Verse 8]
When all we wanted was the dream to have and to hold
That precious little thing
Like every generation yields
A newborn hope un-jaded by their years
