- Verse 1:
- What did you want to say?
- Say it now
- What did you want to do?
- Do it now
- What did you wonder, hear thunder
- It’s coming down from the sky
- You hear it coming down
- And wonder if you will die
- It’s just the precursor
- Don’t be pre concerned
- Until you see the light
- There’s time to light a spark
- And leave your mark
- Don’t leave it in park
- Your train of thought
- Just run that rain so afterwards
- You aren’t an afterthought
- I thought that after
- All my time in despair
- That I would escape it
- At least by a hair
- Turns out,
- You live where your thoughts lie
- So if you fight them its at
- Your own demise
- Yet some of my thoughts
- I still despise
- I couldn’t toss the die
- I had to be sure they’d die
- And so I’ll fight them
- Till I see the light
- I guess that means were going down
- Together tonight
- Hook:
- I –I don’t know the answer
- I –I don’t know what I’m after
- I –I can’t see inside
- In there, my eyes are blind
- I wanna open the blinds
- I wanna let in the light
- But truth be told
- I’m afraid of what I’ll find
- I don’t know the answer
- And I don’t know the way
- But I know that I can find
- In the light of day
- Verse 2:
- As the light is cast its like a blast
- A nuclear explosion
- It’s showing everything
- From the sun to the earth
- But if you’re standing too close
- Then you will feel the burn
- And if you’re like me
- Then you never will learn
- Addicted to illumination
- Not for the sake of mere sensation
- I just want real conversation
- I’m alone, what are you saying?
- Hidden in the dark
- And I’m fiending for fire
- I’m living not to live
- But to shine even brighter
- This is self immolation
- This is not imitation
- This is standing up
- After hearing nothing when I’m praying
- What do I want
- And what do I know?
- Nothing is the answer
- But I’m more than Plato
- Nothing platonic
- Fuck the world, Jin and tonic
- I’m going supersonic
- To get back where I started
- But when I arrive
- I don’t want ascension
- You can send me to hell
- I want comprehension
- (Hook)
- Verse 3:
- Take the time to understand
- That what is taken is lost
- So if you throw away your soul
- The one thing that you’ve got
- Is a chance at redemption
- But it won’t save yourself
- Only give you peace of mind
- As your living in hell
- And therein lies the revelation
- In your mind is what your saying
- What you’re thinking and believing
- Where you are and who you’re being
- It’s all a matter of mind
- Not one of matter
- So what matters is that your mind
- Matters to you more than just matter
- If it didn’t,
- Then you’d be trapped in a dream
- No perception, you’d see
- But you couldn’t believe
- And so you’re beholden
- To hold your head high
- Respect what’s inside
- Or you’re doomed to die
- Just like those who do
- But on that day
- They’d cease to exist
- The thoughts in your brain
- And if they did
- You’d be gone forever
- There’s no worse fate
- Than none whatsoever
