in the dark
between points of light
life arises and dies out
over and over and over
store crystals in our eyes
reshaping points of light
fading in
fading out
over and over and over
the air vibrates
above shifting plates
we’re fading in
we’re fading out
over and over and over and over
we were born to reinvent
we shed our skin
only fear will be the end
only fear will be the end
but love will save us
our love will save us
we are waves
everything will change
the earth shakes
underneath the steps we take
we were born to reinvent
only fear will be the end

We are waking from the night
With a fire in our eyes
We will turn the light on
We will turn the light on
We are stepping out of line
Burning fires in our minds
Never giving in to time
Taking breaths to stay alive
We will turn the light on
...
I think it’s getting better
No matter how I feel
I know it’s disappointing
When no one seems to care
I think we’ll find it
Hiding above the clouds
I see the moonlight
It lights the water up
I know it’s hard to see it
I think it’s getting better
All the time
We will turn the light on
...

there is only one way to see with our eyes
lift our heads and we open them wide
what we’ve done has been done
there are many things that we may never know
there’s no point in pretending we won’t
what’s the point of holding them close
now take our time, to bend the light
we will find it
take our time, what we will find
is what we want to know
don’t make a thing of it
soon, we’ll be coming back
swing like a pendulum
nothing is ever lost
we will remain here, until we change it
nothing is ever lost
don’t make a thing of it
soon we’ll be coming back down again
now, we are standing on shoulders of giants
we know that we get to decide
how we move through this time
can we strip away fear from our eyes
wading our way through the night
we decide what is wrong or right
don’t make a thing of it
swing like a pendulum
nothing is ever lost
swing like a pendulum
nothing is ever lost

only see the light
it comes in waves
the waves are rippling in the depth of the water
well below the sound we know
a light is rippling over billions of miles
as we grow much further away
we don’t always see the light with our eyes open
we don’t always see with our eyes, only
there’s a long way to go
but when we find it, we will know
close your eyes and the light will grow
there is so much we should know
don’t forget we have come from long ago
and there is more than one
and there is more than one way to go
i can feel it stirring in the air
though there is nothing clear
i see it in our eyes and feel it in my skin
there is nothing to be afraid of
there is nothing to be
we take it one by one
are taken one by one when we let go
we wait as it unfolds before our very eyes
and there’s no control
but flames will grow their brightest
just before they die
there’s a long way to go
but when we find it, we will know
close your eyes and the light will grow
there is so much we should know
always searching
we will always find what we look for
we will always find what we see

we will take down the walls
that we have made
all the arms are open wide
all the eyes are open wide
we have climbed
high enough to see from above
we will not be shaken free
all our eyes are open wide
what are we waiting for
what are we waiting for
it is time
what are waiting for
what are we waiting for
won’t shield our eyes
We gave up
it was the only road we’d ever known
But nothing’s ever black or white
And now our eyes are open wide
We did not see it come
In the night, we stole our hopes and fears
And now we’re going to use them up
We’ve taken what was left of us
If we can see
From floating above
All
If we can feel
We can arrange
All
What are we waiting for
What are we waiting for
It is time
What are waiting for
What are we waiting for
Won’t shield our eyes
There’s no more time to waste we are
Floating up above
There’s no more time to waste
We will climb the walls and take them down
We will climb the wall to find
We are not alone in the fight
And, we will not shield our eyes
We have lived too long a lie
It has grown so loud and bright
Stretching on for miles
But it only grows so loud
And It only glows so bright
And the flame will burn the most
Just before we put it out
We will climb the walls to find
We have lived too long a lie
We will put the flames to rest
Won’t shield our eyes

We have lived too long - a lie
We will put the flames to rest
Won’t shield our eyes
