lyrics

The leaves are down, so why am I burning up? The seasons are all forgot as I fix myself to rot. When clocks rewind, I’m springing myself to life. Fast forward me back in time. Let inspiration shine.
Send me into flight. Well I won't quit tonight. This electric show resuscitates me. Put away the chalk.
Let’s make amends, I’ll tune the sunlight’s dissonance. Let’s make amends, I’ll end the twilight’s dissidence.
Temptations rise, impeding a second chance. They’re trying to leave me cold, bitter, and alone. Well I’ve been psyched out for too long to be this strong but I won’t be caving in. The breathing shall begin.
Send me into flight. Well I won't quit tonight. This electric show resuscitates me. Put away the chalk.
Let’s make amends, I’ll tune the sunlight’s dissonance. Let’s make amends, I’ll end the twilight’s dissidence.
Stars align to create an alarm for me. This time I won’t ignore all the signs for me. Let’s make amends, I’ll tune the sunlight’s dissonance. Let’s make amends, I’ll end the twilight’s dissidence.
