Lost Children - “Teen Beat” (2015)

Looking so young and self assured, with her black hair flowing in the wind. Riding this rusty bike up Avenue of the Americas. Just a look as long as it takes to draw a careful breath, And realize after this moment, I may never see her again.

We're passing like shooting stars in the sky I could have missed it all in the blink of an eye.

I could throw out my arms for the world to see, Scatter my cares to be carried on summer's breeze, But below a thousand stories are flooding the streets, So it doesn't matter much what I believe.

We're passing like shooting stars in the sky I could have missed it all in the blink of an eye. We're passing like shooting stars in the sky Watch the flower's pedals wilt, wither, and slowly die.

There is a place where we can hide, I'm going to take you there tonight. And under the blanket of the midnight sky, We'll count stars and fireflies.

So have no fear of men with guns, dogs and searching lights. We're safe from harm together now, lets ration out the night.

But under the blanket of the midnight sky...

All our highways emptied out, After our cities crumbled down. Now the paint it cracks and fades, On those buildings far away, And we just take time to enjoy the life we've made.

After a few seasons passed us by, There's no more sirens in the night. We built a happy home in the heart of the hillside, and warm our hands around the fire.

Under the blanket of the midnight sky...

All our highways emptied out, After our cities crumbled down. Watch the paint it cracks and fades, On those buildings far away, As we just take time to enjoy the life we've made.

Today the final mastered version of "Our Fallen Cities" was delivered for digital distribution!
