A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun

Album: Postcards From A Young Man (2010)

  • We've finally found a way
    To consume boredom every day
    We've all become our personal gods
    We've all become so sad and lost
    So sad
    So sad and lost

    A billion balconies facing the sun
    A billion faces turned to their screens
    The perfect answer to camouflage our screams
    A billion lies becoming the truth
    An ecstasy of the eye
    As wide as eternity tonight

    We found expression for our hate
    Without any kind of consequence
    Who needs patience anymore
    When all our pleasure's virtual

    A billion balconies facing the sun
    A billion faces turned to their screens
    The perfect answer to camouflage our screams
    A billion lies becoming the truth
    An ecstasy of the eye
    As wide as eternity tonight Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
