It was 7:47, we were on our way to heaven In a racecar to the stars With a city of blazing lights embracing us We never thought to worry 'cause we only thought of glory And we trusted our lucky stars So we never thought mere seconds would betray us Thought we saw true in the bright youth Ghost of light come shining through In the dawn blue, in a breath, they flew Silent now the sounds of yesterday I'm treading on sacred ground again Like a single errant ray Showing us the wounds we both sustained And our sacred pain 'Til silent fall the sounds of yesterday Nothing I do, nothing I say Will ever turn the rising tide In the vein of fever dreams, it seems to ride us We never said we're sorry, and the pattern wrote the story One more death by friendly fire All on pain of missing out on that final rush Did we run through before we knew What it was we left behind? Hunting ghostlights all the white nights through Silent now the sounds of yesterday I'm treading on sacred ground again Like a single errant ray Showing us the wounds we both sustained And our sacred pain 'Til silent fall the sounds of yesterday ♪ Hear them softly sigh The sounds of yesterday Let them heal our wounds ♪ If I close my eyes, I can see you Oh, I can see you close enough to touch I hardly dare to dream you, oh, lest it be too much What's the moral of the story When I only see us fighting, elegy to, to the starry-eyed, ooh ♪ Silent now the sounds of yesterday I'm treading on sacred ground again Like a single errant ray Showing us the wounds we both sustained And our sacred pain 'Til silent fall the sounds of yesterday
