I got anthemic with this theme, spurred by the thought of not wanting to live in the dark. Truth is painful, but what feels worse is ignorance and apathy. This song was ultimately performed with members of String Theory Productions. Very fun!
lyrics
I am falling into sleep but I got promises to keep
Just like the Arab spring I need a little awakening...
Sometimes a mirror’s not enough – another face that’s had it rough
Can tell stories that turn my head around and they
Burn a whole in my heart
Hot enough to tear my soul apart
Just in time to save me from living in the dark
Tell me what’s going on between what’s left and what is gone
The look that’s on your face with lines I want to trace
And so I meditate on you like a color that is true
To any feelings that concern all the things in life that
Burn a whole in my heart
Hot enough to tear my soul apart
Just in time to save me from living in the dark
Does anyone does anyone want to leave here?
We’re all on borrowed time just to be here
Oh but I’d rather get hit hard Oh but I’d rather get hit hard
Than stay living in the dark
And if I had a perfect day I’d probably send it on its way
I get far better return for all the things in life that
Burn a whole in my heart
Hot enough to tear my soul apart
Just in time to save me from living in the dark
