New and the 'Ole'

Another city has burned to the ground,
and yet, you're nowhere to be found.
Pushin' the ashes away this time
to blaze another path through the sky.
You feel if you could just leave this again,
you can leave it all behind.
I see the troubles in flight again, and, now I know
it's you they search to find.
Open up your eyes, look past the clouds above your head.
Why can't you realize you are to only one to make amends?
I'd cross the oceans and sky for your love, and still you run away from me.
You think you need something new instead just to set your spirit free.
No one crazy enough to believe in the mind trips you're trying to sell.
Not gonna lose another dime to your bottomless wishin' well.
Open up your eyes, look past the clouds above your head.
Why can't you realize, you are to only one to make amends
for somethin' new!
(To make amends) for somethin' new, for somethin' true!
Here we are once more in the crossroads we left behind in the rain.
Just let the sun burn through all the clouds and we can finally escape this pain.
You know runnin' away just delays...the void will find you in the end.
Your wings can clear the smoke from the sky...I see no reason to pretend.
Open up your eyes...
look past the clouds above your head.
Why can't you realize you are to only one to make amends?
I'd cross the oceans and sky for your love, and still you run away from me.
You think you need something new instead just to set your spirit free.
Open up your eyes, look past the clouds above your head.
Why can't you realize, you are to only one to make amends
for somethin' new, for somethin' true!
For somethin' new, for somethin' true!
(Musical interlude)
See the faceless man in the mirror,
and he's tellin' me your lies.
Walkin' through another city of lost souls tryin' to find my disguise.
Lookin' through another window, but I only see the rain.
I see the man in the mirror, but I know no more of his games.
Set my spirit free.
Set my spirit free.
