Vertical Horizon - True Illusion lyrics

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
