FIRST Lyrics by Will Stetson

2017

[Verse 1]
Slipping away, beyond the conscious
The world just decays into the dark
Feelings we built more like a virus
Crumble to dust and fall apart
Standing alone, a flower wavers
With hues from a time we long forgot
Burning in ash without a savior
This world whorls away back into nothing

{Verse 2]
Suddenly, then I hear a beating
Connecting the future to today
Burning with life - however fleeting
It shatters the time we couldn't save
Looking around, the sky is colored
With ever so faint traces of pain
With every stroke, I hear it say as night falls to day

[Pre Chorus 1]
"What is it that I'm singing of?"
I reach up to the sky above
But my hand only breaks and fades
As into the light I'm praying

[Chorus]
And if days to come, being inscribed by God, are nothing more than a lie
Then my tears will fall down from my eyes again, and never dry
These things will fly
So far they'll fly
So far they'll fly
So far they'll fly away
A small voice echoes bright standing in colored light and eyes anew

[Verse 3]
Here in this blank monochrome daydream
I know that nothing is as it seems
Rain falling down pours form the heavens
And dances in life's hypocrisy
Lying to hide their mortal weakness
Lament all the things they cannot change
Still every time I cry like this, I learn of love

[Pre Chorus 2]
And what is it that one day I'll save?
I reach out to the light of day
But my hand only breaks and fades
As into the light I'm praying

[Chorus]
And if days to come, so long forgotten, lost, are nothing more than a lie
Then my tears will fall down from my eyes again
And never dry
These things will fly
So far they'll fly
So far they'll fly
So far they'll fly away
As my voice starts to sing letting the color in as life renews
And so they'll fly
So far they'll fly
So far they'll fly away
One again these tears pour from my eyes and fly
But now they'll reach that voice that's singing
Color bringing, love defending, walking through the pain

[Outro]
A small voice echoes bright and belting into the light
And starts life anew
