When ashes fall the legends rise Whoa (legends rise) It's burning down, it's burning high We burned it out oh my oh why (Legends rise) Legs are tied, these hands are broken Alone I try with words unspoken Silent cry, my breath is frozen With blinded

I would always open up the door Always looking up at higher floors Want to see it all give me more (rise, rise up) I was always up for the making changes Walking down the street and meeting strangers Flipping through my life turning pages (rise, rise up)

But you let me down Don't you let me down today I need your love I feel so blind When I rise and rise 'Cause I feel so high and I need your love It all seems so fine, and on the way See pictures in my brain

Don't want no high rise tombstone Gonna gather up my saints Don't wanna hear you fussing If it is or if it ain't My life needs no witness And my burden is my own You gotta answer to somebody If you didn't learn then you didn't read Gotta live with it

Wanderlust will carry us on I'm speeding out of reach Oh, you're the one I had to meet I never wanted to go home There was nothing there for me In a high rise on my own Will there ever be a place for you and me I've been sleepwalking Through the railway

Is the tide gonna reach my chair Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky Never been so happy Never felt so high And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise Knee deep in the water somewhere Got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind through my hair

Yeah the fruits of my labor's when the crowd sings along I'm an empty, faceless spotlight mic-stand I'll getcha high, I'll getcha low, I'm the guitar man yeah Well, I woke to the rise, sun going down Still taste the whiskey, still fresh on my mouth Hot

I see the, I see the I see the rain pouring down Before my very eyes Should come as no surprise Got nowhere to go, put away my pride Tired of feeling low even when I'm high Ain't no way to live, do I wanna die? I don't know, I don't know
