Phenomena -

Static lungs, electric heart

Monday made and blemished

We’ve been broken from the start

But as family we are cherished

And God do I need air

We are the phenomena, the lost boys who left

The ones who needed adventure with every last breath

The ones with fire in their hearts

And seasons in their eyes

The ones who wouldn’t let life pass them by

Empty night, save your breath

Oh sun above, lend me ingle rays

Defeatists might, save what’s left

Oh breathless love, await my delay

As steady as the glaciers

We sing the oceans song A thousand people dance together

In unison where we belong

And God do I need air

We are the phenomena, the lost boys who left The ones who needed adventure with

every last breath

The ones with fire in their hearts

And seasons in their eyes

The ones who wouldn’t let life pass them by

It’s hard to stay quiet

When you’re screaming inside

There’s a furnace in my chest

And a rage that won’t subside

Adversity’s our fuel we’ll never stop til' we’re dead

And when frustration gets the best of us

We’ll know it’s in our head

You can be who you aren’t

Behind the music and the art

But you forget who you are

And wish you had’ve from the start

This town beneath the clouds

Is but a stain on the skyline As grey as they come, but

It’s home and it is mine

Oh god lend me the patience

To work my way out of this town

At least the strength float

Long enough as not to drown

Bare feet against wet pavement

Rain smacks against my cheek

Tears blend in with the raindrops

The sadness in what I seek

And if my dreams should die

Then with them I’ll die too

So if I’m still asleep

Please don’t wake me up too soon

I want the heat of the crowd

I want the taste of the beer

I want the sound of a thousand people roaring in my ear

So lend me your voices

Make my dream come true

Never stop dancing with me

I won’t stop dancing with you

We are the phenomena, the lost boys who left The ones who needed adventure with

every last breath

The ones with fire in their hearts

And seasons in their eyes

The ones who wouldn’t let life pass them by.
