lyrics

Open my eyes without restraint or condition.
Dew rests, and dusk is nearly forgotten.
Hope, like a clean face, smiles back
and now we can forget enough to step outside.
Stoplights change and sidewalks fill.
The air sings sweeter, but it's emptier still.
Everything fades and falls out of favor.
But, for now, just be and get better.

A fleeting glance.
A momentary lapse.
A singular chance.
We can be fine if we count by the second.

The grass dries, and night falls.
We're barely not crying.
Heads beg to be laid down, on repose relying,
for all the vigor that has passed away.
Maybe passion, but probably nothing to say.
We need to look down 'til we're standing.
A bit of a wreck never hurt anyone.
Remember, treading water's still breathing.
and drowning's the fastest way to learn.

A fleeting glance.
A momentary lapse.
A singular chance.
We can be fine if we count by the second.

Through gritted teeth we sing.
Everything.
Through gritted teeth we breath,
and these lungs fill finely.

A fleeting glance.
A momentary lapse.
A singular chance.
We can be fine if we count by the second.
