PL600
Legacy Name: PL600

While the sun hangs in the sky,
and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea
and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars,
and the rainbow
'Til the mountains crumble
into the plain

Oh, yes, we'll keep on trying
Tread that fine line
Oh, we'll keep on trying
Just passing our time

While we live according to race,
color or creed
While we rule by blind madness
and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition,
superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on

Oh, yes, we'll keep on trying
We'll tread that fine line
Oh, we'll keep on trying
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time

Through the sorrow,
all through our splendor
Don't take offense at my innuendo

You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything
you think that you could ever be

Be free with your tempo,
be free, be free
Surrender your ego.
Be free, be free to yourself

If there's a god or any kind of justice
under the sky
If there's a point,
if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions
we feel bound to ask
Show yourself, destroy our fears,
release your mask

Oh, yes, we'll keep on trying
Hey! Tread that fine line
Yeah, we'll keep on smiling
And whatever will be, will be

We'll just keep on trying
'Til the end of time

He stumbled into faith and thought,
"God, this is all there is."
The pictures in his mind arose
And began to breathe
And all the gods and all the worlds
Began colliding on a backdrop of blue

Blue lips, blue veins

He took a step but then felt tired
He said, "I'll rest a little while."
But when he tried to walk again
He wasn't a child
And all the people hurried fast,
real fast
And no one ever smiled

Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away

He stumbled into faith and thought,
"God, this is all there is."
The pictures in his mind arose
And began to breathe

And no one saw and no one heard
They just followed the lead
The pictures in his mind awoke
And began to breed

They started off
beneath the knowledge tree
And they chopped it down
to make white picket fences
And marching along
the railroad tracks
They smiled real wide
for the camera lenses
They made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved
in the assembly lines

Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away

Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color

Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away

Another stop sign, another headline
Another broken song
Learning the labels, lessons and fables
I forgot

Under the surface, lost in the verses
There is a rising tide
We're trying to rescue the meaning
If only for tonight

In between the lines
and the boulevards
Underneath the sky
chasing who we are
Wanting more before it slips away

Screaming to the stars
just to feel alive
Maybe one more chance
and we'll get it right
I won't believe, that all these days
And all these dreams
were only meant to fade

Zero to sixty, running on empty
Tell me what have we become
Haunted by secrets
Shadows and demons hide the sun

But out of the darkness
Don't care what they call this
I won't let you down this time

In between the lines and
Underneath the sky
Screaming at the stars
Just to feel alive, just to feel alive

We're trying to rescue the meaning
To do more than just survive
We're dying to capture the feeling
If only for tonight

When we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors on our skin
We were light and paper thin

And when we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors on our skin
'Til we let the spectrum in

Say my name
And every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

And when we come for you
We'll be dressed up all in blue
With the ocean in our arms
Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms

And when it's time to pray
We'll be dressed up all in grey
With metal on our tongues
And silver in our lungs

Say my name
And every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

And when we come back
we'll be dressed in black
And you'll scream our names aloud
And we won't eat and we won't sleep
We'll drag bodies from the ground

So say my name
And every color illuminates
And we are shining
And we'll never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every color illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
We are shining
Say my name
Say my name
And we will never be afraid again

Well you don't like that way that I am
(is not the way)
Way that you want and
the way you understand (but I can't)
Can't help being the way
that I am (it's just the way)
Way that it is and what I know
so sorry about

All of these things that I be
and I know (it's all me)
And not you but this ain't
how I wish (it to be)
For you and your way
and I know (it's all me)
Just know that I know,
I know it's all on me

All the little pieces make up
so much sense in the distance,
a-whoa-ho-ho-ho
Fragmented to the point
of is it possible?

Hot on the trail of a real fine life
This could be
what it means to be alive
Can't be too sure
but it feels the right way
Love is infinite like sun rays

I know what I need to be me
And I know being me
makes it hard to see
Standing on a precipice isn't new
Those demons sometimes
get me seeing blue

All this, call this, what you want but it
Makes me feel alive

Stowed it, showed it, now I know it
Can't be in my mind

It was foreign, pouring,
I've been storing
This for a long while

I consumed, felt doomed,
sung a new tune
Eventually in time

But you don't like that way
that I feel (is the way)
Way that makes you feel worse
all of the time (and I know)
Know that it's not okay for you
(and it's not)
Not for me and is for you
so sorry about

All of these things that
you didn't sign up for (and I don't)
Don't wish the pain on you
it's so sore (but I've been)
Honest to fault (but it doesn't help)
I know that it hurts and it hurts
and it keeps on hurting

Every single time we try and try to
Make things right for you and I
We just kept digging, digging it deep
Below our feet 'till we started to sink

And I didn't know what what to do
I told myself the truth the truth
And I could understand
and you could understand
But how could we stand,
when there was nowhere to stand?

And all the little things
that get under our skin
Didn't make us better
in that heavy weather
I hope that it's better
but never upsetter
We took ours hands,
made some vague plan

All the little pieces make up
so much sense in the distance,
a-whoa-ho-ho-ho
Fragmented to the point of
is it possible?

Hot on the trail of a real fine life
This could be
what it means to be alive
Can't be too sure
but it feels the right way
Love is infinite like sun rays

I know what I need to be me
And I know being me
makes it hard to see
The distance hasn't always been clear
But finally with our love
it could appear

And you don't like what it is
(you don't like what it is)
And you don't know what it is
(you don't know what it is)
And I can't sum it up easily
But I know what it is that I plainly see

Yeah who could've liked what it was?
It caused such a fuss
My heart placed in your hand
Then we gave love a chance and
