Structure + Lyrics
Intro
Verse
totem pole, signs of death
preach my mind, breaks our times
what secrets still, lifted my eyes
i'm by myself, just like i was before
Pre-Chorus
oh why can't we just find in someone
?? back in time
he said she's got photographs of
endings of this world
Chorus
defy, defy
Intro riff
Verse
bottom ??, hard to find
just what you're time, i think we'll mind
what better way, a longer ride
a single ??, i wanna find
Pre-Chorus
oh why can't we just find in someone
?? back in time
he said she's got photographs of
endings of this world
Bridge
Chorus
defy, defy, defy, defy
alive to ride, alive to ride
Ending
