Mea Culpa - 1555 Lyrics

In this basement I look and see heaven behind a bright red light
Angels spread their ugly black wings and jump up to take flight
I close my eyes and soak in this feeling 'cause I know that it won't last long
World at the top of the stairs doesn't matter, I've found someplace where I belong


One-Five-Five-Five
One-Five-Five-Five
Sometimes I don't know what to believe, sometimes I feel like I'm not alive
But I know that I'll always believe in 1555


Walk to the corner and take a fresh look at the people I see everyday
United by youth though we fear in our hearts that these memories might slip away
The heart of the matter, the heart of a friend, we stand up and say "We will not break."
It's more than the music, it's more than the shows, it's something that no one can take


(CHORUS)


We were just hopeless cases, stuck inside our situation
Did it make any difference? Guess not, now we're separated
All our dreams hit the wall the night that I saw heaven fall
The angels screamed, the angels cried, the night we lost 1555


Sun's coming up and I wish I had something to bottle this living room in
Ten years from now someone else may be here they won't realize what they're living in
Things fade with time and youth disappears like tears falling down in the rain
No matter how far you may travel from home, your address is always the same


One-Five-Five-Five
One-Five-Five-Five
Sometimes I don't know what to believe, sometimes I fell like I won't survive
But I know that I'll always believe in 1555
I know that I'll always believe in 1555
