			== Lyrics ==
			<blockquote>
			<poem>
			The lone ranger on his white steed
			Is now a stranger on the run
			When he was young his heart was bursting
			Danger was only just for fun
			But now this savior complex
			It doesn't seem to help
			And for a hero once exalted
			Is now a stranger to himself

			There comes a time
			For our hero to die
			To be born again
			In another land
			There's someone else
			Another pilgrim's quest
			Another crucible
			Another funeral

			I don't wanna be the hero in my story anymore
			And I don't wanna be the hero in yours
			I just wanna be around to watch the sun go down
			I just wanna watch the painted clouds
			Pass along this desert town
			'Til the stars come out

			In my 20s I was flying
			Decades in the tempest's throws
			But I'm not the hero that you need now
			I'm not the hero that I know

			There comes a time
			For our hero to die
			To be born again
			In another land
			There's someone else
			Another pilgrim's quest
			Another crucible
			Another funeral

			I don't wanna be the hero in my story anymore
			And I don't wanna be the hero in yours
			I just wanna be around to watch the sun go down
			I just wanna watch the painted clouds
			Pass along this desert town
			'Til the stars come out

			I don't wanna be the hero in my story anymore
			And I don't wanna be the hero in yours
			I just wanna be around to watch the sun go down
			I just wanna watch the painted clouds
			Pass along this desert town
			'Til the stars come out

			<blockquote>
			<poem>
			Take youth like a drug get fucked up
			Anyone who dares ever cared put your cup up
			Fade into the drums
			Rainbow on my tongue
			Fall in love with everyone
			Half-gods half-dressed in the twilight
			Anyone who dares, ever cared, get your act right
			Fade into the drums
			Rainbow on my tongue
			Fall in love with everyone

			Take youth like a drug get fucked up
			Anyone who dares ever cared put your cup up
			Fade into the drums
			Rainbow on my tongue
			Fall in love with everyone
			Half-gods half-dressed in the twilight
			Anyone who dares, ever cared, get your act right
			Fade into the drums
			Rainbow on my tongue
			Fall in love with everyone

			I'm gonna live forever
			I'm gonna live forever
			In you, in me, and suddenly
			Everything is made of gods
			Take your body up
			Forever
			I'm gonna live forever
			In the seas, the trees, the canopy
			The poison is the cure
			Pull the trigger now I'm shot

			In the half light
			In the black sky
			All the salt binds when the night cries
			And fireflies with stone eyes
			When the half-gods go, the gods arise
			Everything's made of gods here
			Can't tell you what I saw, dear
			Everything's made of gods here

			I'm gonna live forever
			I'm gonna live forever
			In you, in me, and suddenly
			Everything is made of gods
			Take your body up
			Forever
			I'm gonna live forever
			In the seas, the trees, the canopy
			The poison is the cure
			Pull the trigger now I'm shot

			== Lyrics ==
			<blockquote>
			<poem>
			Your mama died and left you the farm
			You moved back from the city learned to see the stars
			Forgotten lives you forgot you carried
			Your former selves you forgot to bury
			You read the old books you used to need
			To make you whole make you feel complete
			And you made the drinks you used to love
			But somewhere you lost the taste for the social drugs

			The ancient empty skies
			That haunt you all your life
			Projections of the lights that have long left you behind

			When it doesn't feel like home
			Your turn the music on
			Cause time it takes its toll
			And it don't feel like it was
			But it hits you when it does
			And you roll the windows down
			And you turn the music up
			When the sun shines on this town
			It almost feels like love
			We're infinite enough

			You told the stories but they fell through
			In the strange land where the stranger's you
			And all the masks that you used to wear
			Just to find out here nobody cares
			You saw a girl from afar
			She was reading Joyce at the local bar
			You found the words and brought her home
			To your childhood bed in a thunderstorm

			Those ancient empty skies
			Will haunt you all your life
			Projections of the lights that have long left us behind

			When it doesn't feel like home
			Your turn the music on
			Cause time it takes its toll
			And it don't feel like it was
			But it hits you when it does
			And you roll the windows down
			And you turn the music up
			When the sun shines on this town
			It almost feels like love
			We're infinite enough

			Can you see the sun rising
			Can you see the blue skies shining
			The only thing stronger than love that I can find is time

			When it doesn't feel like home
			Your turn the music on
			Cause time it takes its toll
			And it don't feel like it was
			But it hits you when it does
			And you roll the windows down
			And you turn the music up
			When the sun shines on this town
			It almost feels like love
			We're infinite enough
			</poem>
