Acres Of Lions - Writing from the Heart Lyrics
Remember the basement shows? In the years of our youth, when we had heroes; anthems we couldn't live without. We sang strong and proud. They're just echoes now. But we ache like an open wound because I know we can't go back again, to when we were kids and we lived for this.How can I compete with captains of industry that cursed me from the start? Are you writing from the heart? How can I compete with the fame and fortune you seek? I know it's tempting, oh it's tempting me, to sell you my misery.Are you writing from the heart?I used to find peace in it all. I used to feel heaven in the words you spoke. My heart soared like harmonies. We sang strong and proud. Our songs are ashes now. But we ache like an open wound because I know we can't start again, to when we were kids and we lived for this.How can I compete with captains of industry that cursed me from the start? Are you writing from the heart? How can I compete with the fame and fortune you seek? I know it's tempting, oh it's tempting me, to sell you my misery.Are you writing from the heart?We are not a formula waiting to be sorted out. To work and starve was part of it, so suffer all you want for this. Our dying art on cavalcade, we take this to an early grave. Our dying art on cavalcade, we take this to an early grave. We take this to an early grave.Are you writing from the heart?How can I compete with captains of industry that cursed me from the start? Are you writing from the heart? How can I compete with the fame and fortune you seek? I know it's tempting, oh it's tempting me, to sell you my misery.Are you writing from the heart?
