We dread the silence, but the silence always comes
Adrift on islands, abandoned and unsung
We lost our way, and missed the target by a mile
We find each other, and gather in the night
We join our voices, and hold each other tight
Not to be torn away, by tragedy or guile
[CHORUS]
And we have to find a way
To make our voice heard over the noise floor
Not to be turned away
When facing down the future we came for
The words lodged in our throats and lost in vacant minds
We dream of better lives, such futures as will come
We grasp at every straw and march to every drum
And so we pass our days, exhuberent and smiling
We plan and gamble, compiling our schemes
Pursue our vision until it haunts our dreams
We wake up the next day to find our work has washed away
The [Am] world was up for [D] grabs
But we were [G] busy chasing [G/B] butterflies and [Em] habits
And we [C]wouldn't have had a clue just what we'd [D]do with it
If we had [G]grabbed it
[VERSE CHORDS]
This is the world as we found it
And we like the way it fits
This is the world as we arrived at
And we like the sound of that
Hearts break, the days go by
And we're left staring at the skies
Hoping that some signal will follow
Life takes, the seasons fly
And we're left here to wonder why
Waiting for the hint of an echo
