Outskirts (Buried in the Sound)

When we rise to the occasion
with a standing ovation
don’t you look so goddamned surprised
When the blood running through this city
spoils with smoke and pity
and hits your heart without a compromise
Wont you stand with me
and shout at the sea
we were the kids from the outskirts of town
our plans are ever changing
rearranging
and now we’re listening to black metal
buried in the sound
Telegrams sent with pentagrams
magic tricks sent from folded hands
ridiculous at best
lets put it to the test and see
That every circumstance you find
brings a difference in philosophy
marvel at the world
with the endless possibilities
fascinate
congratulate yourself
So wont you stand with me
shout at the sea
we were the kids from the outskirts of town
our plans are ever changing
rearranging
and now we’re listening to black metal
buried in the sound
People in your life
will come and go
it’s the ones who stick around
you need to treat like gold
you’ve only got one life
live it like a story told
cuz every circumstance you find
brings a difference in philosophy
marvel at the world
with the endless possibilities
fascinate
congratulate yourself
So wont you stand with me
shout at the sea
we were the kids from the outskirts of town
our plans are ever changing
rearranging
and now we’re listening to black metal
buried in the sound
