Vertical Horizon True Illusion Lyrics

The scent of daybreak
And summer mornings
Clutch to your heart
Like all your favorite dreams
The serenade of
The frozen city
This restless noise
Like a desperate hope

Tell me stories
Show me wonder
Wrapped in the light of
The everlasting hour
Like falling snowflakes
And fading sunlight
We are alive
We are alive

But it's a memory
And this melody
It's a memory
This melody

Across the pavement
Beyond the rooftops
A million wings
Searching for the sky
The smallest triumph
The frequent failures
Still we try again
We try

But it's a memory
And this melody
It's a memory
This melody

'Cause we may be one day in a lifetime
One name in a bloodline
One word in a love song
Sung into oblivion

One deed shy of greatness
One G short of weightless
Torn apart with heavy hearts
Still we believe

It's alright
This time
We'll give everything
For a true illusion

Save me something
To call your heart home
If all is lost
Or anything is found
I hold you precious
I crave your fire light
I trace your face
When the coldness comes

But it's a memory
And this melody
Yeah, it's a memory
This melody

'Cause we may be one day in a lifetime
One name in a bloodline
One word in a love song
Sung into oblivion

One deed shy of greatness
One G short of weightless
Torn apart with heavy hearts
Still we believe

It's alright
This time
We'll give everything
For a true illusion

We fade out
We shine bright
Giving everything
For a true illusion

Forever
For a moment
Till the light shines down
Upon us
Again

So we flourish
And we suffer
Till the night comes back
To claim us
Again

'Cause we may be one day in a lifetime
One name in a bloodline
One word in a love song
Sung into oblivion

One deed shy of greatness
One G short of weightless
Torn apart with heavy hearts
Still we believe

It's alright
This time
We'll give everything
For a true illusion

We fade out
We shine bright
Giving everything
For a true illusion
