Thomas Edison

We were looking at the world

Our hands tied up in curls

In knots that we could not unfurl

So we stood the world's pull

And we tried to breathe it in

Burst in flame like paraffin

And much to all the stars' chagrin

There was more dust that settled in

We saw the sunlight rising

Through the dark skyline

And through the night we were hiding

From that own bright light

And we were soaked to the bone

With bodies trembling in snow

Holding hands as if we'd known

That keeping close won't keep us cold

Dreamt of rising from the depths

As soldiers bound in our duress

Watching hardened drops of lead

Sink into our softened flesh

We wanted so damn badly

To be heroes at night

But our minds fought badly

They couldn't hold up the fight

And we kept on trying, trying tonight

Nothing could keep us out of that light

We kept on trying, trying tonight

We kept on trying, trying tonight

But we thought that we could win

Just like Thomas Edison

Did with all his inventions

But we had nothing to begin

And every time we struck a chord

Back to our own drawing board

Fighting fire with a sword

And we were melting with each word

We saw the light in our pathway

But it was miles away

And we were all going that way

We could have lasted for days

And we kept on trying, trying tonight

Nothing could keep us out of that light

We kept on trying, trying tonight

We kept on trying, trying tonight

And we kept on trying, trying tonight

Nothing could keep us out of that light

We kept on trying, trying tonight

We kept on trying, trying tonight

And we kept on trying, trying tonight

Nothing could keep us out of that light

We kept on trying, trying tonight

We kept on trying, trying tonight

We kept on trying, trying tonight

Nothing could keep us out of that light

We kept on trying, trying tonight

We kept on trying, trying tonight

We kept on trying, trying tonight

Nothing could keep us out of that light

We kept on trying, trying tonight

We kept on trying, trying tonight
