Lyrics
The Big Picture
Matt Zaia
From infinite space to alien shores
So many things we've yet to explore
Those suns that dies light years ago
Still give us warmth and one hell of a show
Past and present
Leading to the unknown
Speak and listen
Communicate what's shown
[chorus]
When the stars collide a world must end
Material dreams and a life with a friend
Standing on horizons the big picture fades away
As the sun burns out the last song is played
The big picture fades
We need to break the mold and grow
In a place like we have never known
Look at the universe you're trying to expand
Look how trivial is the bravado of man
We need
To find a bigger show.
Space, a place
Like we've never known.
[repeat chorus]
[guitar break]
[repeat chorus]
We play mind games inside a hurricane
As the sea of reason goes down the drain
From the echoes of misguided tragedy
Living day to day with the uncertainty
The big picture fades
