lyrics

Why should I cry my through a lonely afternoon?
Why should I feel so bad when I fall asleep with the moon?
Love can be hard to hold when it's trying to get away
Nothing can be more bold than putting it on display

I let myself down by believing everyone's point of view
Their mirrors reflected each crooked line I drew
There are moments when I can feel my skin age
I get caught in the words I put down on the page

We are all moving through the same atmosphere
Shifting inside the light and collapsing in fear

Why should we hold ourselves like the world is gonna die?
Our bones just bend and ache while we hold on beneath the sky
I guess it's always been that way - for a thousand years
Everyone loses faith but the heartache soon disappears

We are all moving through the same atmosphere
Shifting inside the light and collapsing in fear

I love how you look when you're happy, and while you smile
The depths of my darkness become a shining light for a while
When I'm alone at night and my mind is quiet and still
The dreams inside my head become the holes I have to fill

We are all moving through the same atmosphere
Shifting inside the light and collapsing in fear
We are all moving through the same atmosphere
Shifting inside the light and collapsing in fear
