Flashbulbs


Falling to the wayside
I can't pledge to see a thing
While this world's still kept in darkness
Only strangers find the spring

But somewhere in your memories
Are the photos that you keep
Of some better times to file away
Down across these busy streets

Maybe soon we'll find the light to guide us
Enough to make it through this endless night
Resistant to the rules that might define us
But somewhere in the flashbulbs out of sight
Somewhere in the flashbulbs out of sight

Sometimes out of focus
Not aware of what's been taught
Always struggling for this image
Until it's everything we're not

Distraught and so you shy away
You want the future here today

Maybe soon we'll find the light to guide us
Enough to make it through this endless night
Resistant to the rules that might define us
But somewhere in the flashbulbs out of sight
Somewhere in the flashbulbs out of sight

There's a fire that's lit beneath us
As we strive to make this last
Now it's time to face our future
Because we lose ourselves so fast
And once you're lost there ain't no turning back

Maybe soon we'll find the light to guide us
Enough to make it through this endless night
Resistant to the rules that might define us
But somewhere in the flashbulbs out of sight
Somewhere in the flashbulbs out of sight

And this is where we start our lives
This is where we start our lives
Somewhere we can move across the night
Somewhere in the flashbulbs out of sight
