Intro (Prelude) (Explicit)

Intro (Prelude) - Paradise Fears

This is a call to arms for

The poets that are inside of us

This is shedding our skin

And breaking the chains that are binding us

This is pictures of the truth

This is life in real time

All the words we always

Wanted but could never make them rhyme

This is the way that she looked

This is what I believe

This is the way it's been and always will be

This is the war raging inside of me

When I told you all that I was fine

You taught me never underestimate the

Power of ten thousand hearts

That are beating in time

This is for everyone still holding on to all the

Things they f**ked up and all the

People they did wrong all the songs they never sang

Our story's still the same

But we've been holding it in so long

So Hallelujah amen

Holy whatever bless your soul

Because these are the words that

Set up the verses that let us free

Ourselves through rock n' roll

This is music this is spirit

This is passion if you'll let yourself hear it

Cause there's mercy in the verse

A story in the chorus

A bridge to get over the

Sea of doubt before us

It's all not perfect

We need music to save us;

Spinning the soundtrack to our beautiful chaos

Imperfect existence: just grab it

And own it and I swear to God

You'll have it all in that moment

So take every picture of your perfect life

You can splatter it with color and the paint will dry

You can throw it in the air and you can watch it fly

Just for one last time squeeze it very very tight

And let it go
