Off in the distance, lost in the background, unseen

Masked in illusion, shaded in by the colors, I breathe

I scream, [Yeah!] it tears my soul!

Held, held for an instant, never found consistent!

I reach with hands high!

Cherish my thoughts of hope, built yesterday

Portray a picture, painted perfection, not a flaw

Shadowed, my dreams are fading!

Left, empty canvas, gone, what has happened?

Change, changing the colors, adding another!

I reach with hands high!

Cherish my thoughts of hope, built yesterday

Built yesterday! [Yeah!]

I reach with hands high!

Cherish my thoughts of hope!

I scream! [Yeah!] Scream! [Yeah!] Don't give it away! [Yeah!]

Cherish my thoughts of hope, built yesterday

Built yesterday! [Yeaah!]
