about

I feel like some of the greatest ideas will never be heard because they are shouted down by a voice louder than their's. Whether it be in terms of power, status, or money, we don't get to hear a lot of the ideas that we should. No matter what, you should make your statement anyway. And even if your voice is heard as nothing more than a whisper with a thousand screams trying to drown you out, it's better than not saying anything at all.

lyrics

We raced along the avenue
We passed up all the signs
Warning us of what's to come
We should have kept between the lines
But we swerved into the fast lane
Racing all the lights
Wasting all the days
So dreams would come sooner at night
We're here for a moment and then we're gone
No one stays here on this avenue long
Don't waste your life afraid of pleasure

We're just here for a whisper
We die amongst the screams
Of our hearts crying out
For all the unfulfilled dreams
Dreams we left out on the avenue
For our brothers to receive
And try to figure out what they mean
We're just here for a whisper
And then we die amongst the screams

We left our marks on the pavement
Not knowing what was in store
We took advantage of the gold
Then we politely asked for more
We begged for forgiveness
But never could forget
This dream we locked inside our hearts
And no way to open it
But we're not so far apart
No, that ocean ain't so wide
Cause the moon you see up in your sky
Is the same moon I see tonight
Why waste our lives seeking empty treasure?
