lyrics

It's been too long
Since I've seen a night like this
With the stars like they're painted on the sky
A different name for each one
Try to give it some significance and difference
Scar marks on the world, we're faking discoveries
Aren't they lov-e-ly the flags we made
Seeking meaning in a sick sort of colonization
Of ideas that were barren in the first place

It's hard work and the job is never done
Turn and face the light of the rising sun

(It's been too long)
Since we gave this one a try
No the message didn't fit
But the attitude was right
(It's been too long)
And I think it's finally time
No we didn't stick the landing at first
But we'll be just fine
They've forgotten or they're gone
And it's been too long

And I've forgotten half the words
And the books are covered in dust or lost
The photos have been smudged out
Still we're piecing together a purpose and initiative
Look sharp so they know we mean business
It's a bitter world and that's how we'll capitalize
Giving meaning to a struggle of our own invention
With intention for impressionable eyes

There's a new wind billowing our sails
So fill your lungs with the breath of thunder and hail
Boy, doesn't it make you proud, but

Everybody raise your hands up in the air
And wave goodbye like you just don't care
You'll be rewarded or unaffected in the end
Either way don't blink because it's coming back again
