Thannos - Flash of Life Lyrics

All of my life I've been one or two things
All of my dreams have been one or two dreams
I used to fall in love 'bout every single day

That delivered me to another false start
Bittersweet paths for the feet and the heart
Still I turned out fine, maybe better than most
I improvised living and why the hell not?
'Cause everyone's got methods to go on

I'm livin' it up just as far as I go
Using a white flag to brighten the wall
This technology of terror followed me from here to there
While diggers of gold were replaced by a bot
Digging it's claws deep in everyone's thoughts

Now it sees in me what sometimes I forget
That frozen teenage dreamer in my head
The day I wished the world to know my name

Deliver me to another strange world
Where people think more before doin' what they're told
Yeah, it used to bum me out that this would last forever

I'm losing my hope and I'm losing my soul
I'm sick of this race, yeah, I'm sick of it all
I can't even see the sky from here
I don't know what to do
'Cause every sail's unbothered by the wind

Today I got past all the names I've been called
Some I deserved, others probably not
I turned on the light to see you staring back at me to say
All of my life I've been one or two things
All of my dreams have been one or two dreams

There used to be a ground on which we stood
There used to be a tower from which I looked
The Ivory-coated visions every night
One by one they die
Please don't ask me why
I don't know much about it

My life has been stopped
And it ain't gonna start no more
My thoughts have been paused
Now it ain't gonna hurt no more
My life has been good
My love has been pure
And I don't regret a thing

I've said my goodbyes
Now and then with a silent song
I'm sick of this fraud
'Cause I don't really know what for
They used all our cries
In a great wall of lies
Like a piece of a puzzle game

So here's my guitar
And a whisper to follow through
I'll be the last star
Not a wish, but a tale come true
Don't take on the world
Don't take it alone
'Cause it ain't gonna change a thing
If you're just a pawn
When the big game is won
You'll be gone like snow

Cold as the tournament hall
Alone in a mountain of gold
Show me the way to the door
And I'll finally do what I want
'Cause freedom ain't free anymore
