True Illusion - Vertical Horizon

The scent of daybreak

And summer mornings

Clutch to your heart

Like all your favorite dreams

The serenade of

The frozen city

This restless noise

Like a desperate hope

Tell me stories

Show me wonder

Wrapped in the light of

The everlasting hour

Like falling snowflakes

And fading sunlight

We are alive

We are alive

But it’s a memory

And this melody

It’s a memory

This melody

Across the pavement

Beyond the rooftops

A million wings

Searching for the sky

The smallest triumph

The frequent failures

Still we try again

We try

But it’s a memory

And this melody

It’s a memory

This melody

'Cause we may be one day in a lifetime

One name in a bloodline

One word in a love song

Sung into oblivion

One deed shy of greatness

One G short of weightless

Torn apart with heavy hearts

Still we believe

It’s alright

This time

We’ll give everything

For a true illusion

Save me something

To call your heart home

If all is lost

Or anything is found

I hold you precious

I crave your fire light

I trace your face

When the coldness comes

But it’s a memory

And this melody

Yeah, it’s a memory

This melody

'Cause we may be one day in a lifetime

One name in a bloodline

One word in a love song

Sung into oblivion

One deed shy of greatness

One G short of weightless

Torn apart with heavy hearts

Still we believe

It’s alright

This time

We’ll give everything

For a true illusion

We fade out

We shine bright

Giving everything

For a true illusion

Forever

For a moment

Till the light shines down

Upon us

Again

So we flourish

And we suffer

Till the night comes back

To claim us

Again

'Cause we may be one day in a lifetime

One name in a bloodline

One word in a love song

Sung into oblivion

One deed shy of greatness

One G short of weightless

Torn apart with heavy hearts

Still we believe

It’s alright

This time

We’ll give everything

For a true illusion

We fade out

We shine bright

Giving everything

For a true illusion
