Cosmic Symphony Songtext
von Flying Colors

The moon is stained with midnight tears of fortune
Tainted pastures, scarecrows point to no one
My favorite cigarette plays its funeral song
A still life of the world

Shrinking violet wounded by her love
The old men sleep while porcelain screams take over
The world disguises her dying glow
A still life of the world
A still life of the world

I took in the sunrise and I tried to save it
I looked through my own eyes and I thought I′d made it
I thought I could reach the sky but I'm stuck here on the ground
I wanted to drink wine from the captain′s table
I saw in my mind's eye but my hands weren't able
Searching for the air but it all keeps coming down
Down, coming down
I′m searching for the air but I′m stuck here on the ground


On the ground
On the ground now
Searching for the air but I'm stuck here on the ground now
Searching for the air

Searching for the air
Searching for the air

Neither more, I′m neither less
And I'm not trying to take some test
And I′m not trying to prove myself
And I'm not trying to run away
Away from you

And all these years I′ve seen the changes take place
Like the ice melting away
Like the sun bringing the morning
And I know it was all for you

And when I get to walk the streets
Without this burden on my feet
I know I've been called home
These shoes won't be my own to fill
When I see the past beneath
My heavy heart is finally free


Searching for the air
Searching for the air
But I have found
It′s pound for pound

Underneath this cosmic symphony
Underneath this pain, this happiness
And underneath the river stream
A will to live

I′ve given love, I've given hate
I′ve given peace and I've made war
And I′ve been scarred by words and swords
But here I am
A will to live

Yeah, when I get to walk these streets
Without a burden on these feet
I know I've been called home
This place will be my own again
When I feel the past beneath
My heavy heart is finally free

Searching for the air
Searching for the air
But I have found
It′s pound for pound

Searching for the air
Searching for the air
But I have found
It's pound for pound

One day I'll see you there
One day I′ll see you there
But here and now
It′s pound for pound
Pound for pound
Pound for pound
Pound for pound
