Skyscraper Souls (feat. Chris Braide & Geoff Downes)

You could never be too careless with selflessness

This, here and now, is where we are

This drop of light amidst an infinity of stars

This brief tick-tock of woods amidst eternity

There is a voice inside us all

A hollow place where gods and angels fall

Where darkness wraps around the mind

Hiding in shadows stealing holy time

We're mountains climbers you and I

Raging against the dying light

We all have our fears and our demons

We're all marking time like the changing seasons

How can I stop myself from falling

When there's nothing between me and the white moonless skies?

I'm trying to hold on but I keep walking

Into thin air

Onto thin ice

I don't know what I'm reaching for

Oooh

We all get stuck with who we think we are

Can we escape from our mind games

Our mind games

Or leave the poor hearts citadel to flames?

We're mountain climbers you and I

Searching for something more than merely time

This blue night unending, storm clouds remain

Far out through the tides of darkness

On this melancholy train

How can I stop myself from falling

When there's nothing between me and the white moonless skies?

I'm trying to hold on but I keep walking

Into thin air

Onto thin ice

Far over the lands

Beyond the darkness

I'm searching

You're searching

We're searching

Far over the lands

Beyond the darkness

I'm searching

You're searching

We're searching

Wake up, wake up

While the sun's up

Wake up, wake up

While the sun's up

Far over the lands

Beyond the darkness

I'm searching

Far over the lands

Beyond the darkness

I'm searching

You're searching

We're searching

If we can't turn back the clock

We just keep turning on this rock

Searching for a place called home

With our skyscraper souls

I'm faced with a new dilemna

With my heart under a weight

Deny these thoughts in my head

Submit to a whole new state

We were inseparable

Locked in an ego maze

Now we are strangers

Living in hostile ways

Can you tell me where we go from here?

I may have changed somewhat

But no one stays the same

I'm just trying to live freely in the flow of my life stream

Together and breathless we climb this windy hill

Wind and earth and time stand still

Is this what happens when we die?

We come back to life

Together and breathless we climb this windy hill

Wind and earth and time stand still

How can I stop myself from falling

When there's nothing between me and the white moonless skies?

I'm trying to hold on but I keep walking

Into thin air

Onto thin ice

How can I stop myself from falling

When there's nothing between me and the white moonless skies?

I'm trying to hold on but I keep walking

Into thin air

Onto thin ice

Into thin air

Onto thin ice

Into thin air

Onto thin ice

Into thin air

Onto thin ice

Conkers, acorn, pussy velvet

Twinkling autumns;

We longed for September's end

And the nocturnal frosts that seemed so familiar

To embalm, enshroud, like a spirit possessed

Yes, but by benevolence

We're mountains climbers you and I

Raging against the dying light

(Oooh)

Raging against the dying light

Against the dying light

(Aaah)

Yeah

Ocean child

Take me away

Far away

From all of the madness

Ocean child

With your long dark hair

Cascading down

Cascading down

Ocean child

Take me away

Far away

From all the madness

We are one

We are one

Ocean child

Take me away

Far away

From all of the madness

Ocean child

We are one

We are one

Take me away

We are one

Far away

We are one

Take me away

Yeah

Ocean child

And if we can't turn back the clock

We just keep turning on this rock

Searching for a place called home

With our skyscraper souls

We are

Skyscraper souls
