Salvation from Eden by Chasing 76

Take a look at our paradise
It’s been burning like that all night
Been burning with them hungry flames
Since seventy four or five
Lapping up, lapping up
All these ashes and dust
Is that what becomes of us?
Amber waves waving their goodbyes
On our highways of indifference

I can see you through the smoke
Are you ever coming back?
Tell me you’re coming home
Tell me I’m not alone

This morning we lost our days
Has all light been forgot?
For every moment some darkness gains,
There’s another shattering sense of loss
“It’s gone!”
They’ve said that all along
Were they wrong?
It’s not gone but it’s been tumbling down
As we were waiting but for what use?
Only to become bored by being amused
By some kinda joke
But you’re never allowed to laugh, oh no
It’s about the most foolish thing I’ve ever known

As midnight becomes our noon
We’re pointing at everyone
When all is said and done
More was said than ever done
“It’s gone!”
I heard that all along
It’s not gone but damn sure is crumbling
We keep on waiting, who knows what for?
One more drop to another bottom floor

Somewhere in this smoke
I can feel you, come on back
Hear me calling come on home
Must I come for you?
Must I come to you believing
Salvation is just a little farther away?

I was broken
I was beaten
But no, I won’t be defeated
Not ever
Not today
I was hopeless
I was haunted
But I’ll be fearless
I will be undaunted
For you
For always
For salvation is just a little further
