lyrics

Hello, did I catch you
At a difficult time?
My sources say you’re in a mess
They were a bit unkind
Hello, did I catch you
In a difficult way
Like all the papers seem to write about these days?

Wake up Monday morning
With a withering sigh
Your aspirations fade away
And it leaves you mystified
Waiting for a moment
With an elegant prayer
But all the while, you’re doing nothing to prepare

And when you feel it, oh
Like a million eyes dreaming
Brutally camouflaged
In your light machine
And when the moment rolls by
Will you still stand upon high
Or will you cry about the way it should have been?

Gazing out the window
Through a curious stare
You’re left alone, imagining
The life you could find there
Blaming those around you
In a terrible lie
That holds you down until you start to realize

And when you feel it, oh
Like a million eyes scheming
Brutally camouflaged
In your light machine
And when the moment rolls by
Will you still stand upon high
Or will you cry about the way it should have been?

Realizing all you’re finding

Hello, did I catch you
At a difficult time?
Locked inside your memories
Motivation in decline
Longing for a reason
With a promising sign
But only you can make your lucky stars align

And when you feel it

And when you feel it, oh
Like a million eyes dreaming
Brutally camouflaged
In your light machine
And when the moment rolls by
Will you still stand upon high
Or will you cry about the way it should have been?
Cry about the way it should be
Cry about the way you should be
Realizing all you’re finding
