There exists a light behind the eyes
If only we can find the time to pay enlightened mind
(See)
(See)
See that which the naked eye declines to entertain
Demonstrate relentless stride to endless ventures gained
Take confession
Face the grate and state enough’s enough
Break convention’s tastleless chains and call erasure’s bluff
.
Find the voice most deep within
Listen to the skylark sing
Stay up to ungodly hour to watch the night owl do its thing
See the magic tragically unseen
That once so emphatically believed
(Believe)
.
There exists a light behind the eyes each time they weep
Rite of passage to high tide in sweep
Endless seas sequentially perceived
(Believe)
Every time a teardrop be relieved
(Believe)
If only we can find the time to pay enlightened mind
To everything sweet nothings misconceive
(Believe)
Something this way comes
Would be most wicked to defeat
The only friend the end dare not decree
(Fly free)

Innermost potential is potentially obscene
Once we go for broke to boast essential essence gleaned
From deep beneath the skin we shed
Each time our sweetest dreams be bled
And make a sacred temple of our dreams

Would give both eyes to watch the sunrise in moonlit reprise
Ride each ebb and flow composed to prizing rhythmic rise
Go the distance time and time again
No questions posed
If only to see single soul repose deposed of blight
.
Sleep with one eye open
To keep vigil of the night
Be the individual most inclined to shining bright
Show the only part of me I held back for myself
Seek the most cathartic truth
See fit to spread the wealth
Hold the mic so tightly that I might just earn ovation
If nothing else for changeless dedication
.
This is no vocation
This is everything I am
All of me endorsed to bleed each intravenous dam
This is every best laid plan I never got around to
This is why defiantly I stand
Here upon uneven ground
No fever dream be damned
For I have seen with keen
Believe that there exists a light behind our eyes
To prize as infinitely grand
.
There exists a light behind our eyes

(There exists a light behind our eyes

Infinitely
