lyrics

years i locked myself up in my room, fantastic thoughts locked up inside my head - epic tales of happiness, imaginary worlds of no regret - hoping one day i'd know the same. wishing i could leave new england soon. find a world where love and peace aren't dead. search the skies and still i find the human race is deaf and blind. not a single person is ashamed.

the world outside is what i want. it's what i've always needed. the world is ours, we'll be just fine, no matter how we're cheated. when i'm in california the miles between won't change a thing, i know. no matter how far i've gone, i will always find my way back home.

disregard your goddamn atlas. we can find ourselves without this. a couple of my best friends, and wherever we are, we're home. the world is small and so amazing. hearts are warm and souls are blazing. take a look around you and look into the great unknown.

forget the past, enjoy your fate. love your life, it's not too late. finally let go of hate, everything's adding up. see the world for what it is - magic waiting to happen. come on man, where have you been? everything's wonderful now.

when i'm in california, the miles between won't change a thing, i know. no matter how far i've gone, i will always find my way back home.

We are a band. We are loud. We like Subway and System Of A Down. We write songs about religion, politics, relationships, and the apocalypse. We'll grow on you. See you soon.
