Audience Of One 作词：Brandon Barnes, Zach Blair, Timothy Mcilrath, Joseph Daniel Principe
I can still remember the words and what they meant As we etched them with our fingers in years of wet cement Days blur into each other though everything seemed clear We cruised along at half speed but then we shifted gears
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns But even then we should have stayed
But we ran away now all my friends are gone Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved Run away, what are we running from ? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone?
Identities assume us as nine and five add up Synchronizing watches to the seconds that we lost And I looked up and saw you, I know that you saw me
We froze but for a moment in empathy
I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug You gave my emptiness a name
And you ran away now all my friends are gone Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone?
We're all okay until the day we're not The surface shines while the inside rots We raced the sunset and we almost won We slammed the brakes but the wheels went on We ran away
