Lyrics
I scurried down to the sea
Where I found an open window in my eyes
Cue the bright sunshine lighting up my beliefs
Each second feeling like the longest time
Feel like there's angels in disguise
Before keeling over I just had to flutter my eyes awake
Or at least endeavor
No use in shaking the sunlight is making the darkness fade
Shine forever more
I hurried down to the sea
And I spread my broken wings far and wide
Killing the truth with lies
Singing a symphony
I watched them flicker away into your eyes
Feel like there's nothing I can't hide
These sounds we make might last forever
But the dreams we make might drown before they're born
Follow me back to the shore
Before keeling over I just had to flutter my eyes awake
Or at least endeavor
No use in shaking the sunlight is making the darkness fade
Shine forever more
