lyrics

I opened up my new eyes
To neon wonders of the world
Where the story of a sunrise
Is a science project done in school.
Look away before you go blind,
Twenty five years, how they fly by;
What a time to be alive.

I stepped into adult life
Unlimited chances at success
Now failure is a concept
Benefitting someone else.
Mundanity, I am guilty every time,
With no chance I’d stomach a charity;
What a crime to be alive.

You’ll open up your new eyes
To an endless searching treasure hunts
Where the story of the blue sky
Is water colors on the run.
You can’t back down from a deal with the dead,
You did not even know you made instead;
What a lie to be alive.

So step into the sunlight
Let it cleanse you like summer rain
Or a shower in the morning
You’ll make amends with yesterday.
Life is both a blessing and a burden,
Of both pleasure and of hurting,
Now I am certain they are one in the same.
What a thing to be alive.
