City of Heroes Lyrics

So you've mastered the metaphor game

And now nothing on earth is the same

It's only time but its critical

It's only time

Like the movies you swim in your dreams

Grin devoid of your critical fiends

When you wake up your role's been cast out

The old flick's back: the one that's built to lose

But its only time

When intelligence and lust turn to wisdom and love

You're on the escalator through the ether up above

When the white limos come out to play

And the license plates spell out the way

You'll know its time its inevitable

You scare me girl

Like my worn-out seaside melody memory

You can't dodge the past like you can't dodge gravity

But you can learn to trick its spin

It's only time

And if you believe its all too good to be true

Schizophrenia heights is a commuter town

This life we used to chalk around til I felt your flower unfold

And I remember

(I remember the silence)

Your arm clutching mine

(The cress of soft belong)

Up the escalator ride

Through the ether to the dome

My Synchronia

My Synchronia

My Synchronia

But until that time

All static aside

When you hate the world do you still love me?
