Wide Eyed Lyrics

This is not a dream
cause I am not asleep.
I'll need more than a metaphor
if I want to earn my keep.
My head is in clouds.
My feet are on the ground.
Even if I fall I'll always stand proud.
I'll carry my weight
where brave dare go.
Through sleet, through rain,
I'll trail courses unknown.
I'll carry my weight
making sand out of stone.
I'll blaze this trail alone
and take the long road.

Day in, day out,
your heart's growing colder.
Your prying hands can't lift
that chip off your shoulder.
Fade in, fade out, you fight with apathy.
Don't cloud my vision
when you're the one who can't see.

I'll carry my weight
where brave dare go.
Through sleet, through rain,
I'll trail courses unknown.
I'll carry my weight
making sand out of stone.
I'll blaze this trail alone
and take the long way home.
I was always talking to myself
because nobody would stick around.
Developed my own language
and now I'm the loudest in the crowd.
(Now I have to)
ask myself why they wanna stick around?
It's funny how they lift you up
before they put you in the ground.
Remember those things
we were all meant to fear.
And laugh as we realize
they all got us here.
I am the one. Unfortunate sun.
My death made a mark
while your lives faded away.

I'll carry my weight
where brave dare go.
Through sleet, through rain,
I'll trail courses unknown.
I'll carry my weight
making sand out of stone.
I'll blaze this trail alone
and take the long way home.

I find strength where others
find defeat. My eyes are open as I push on.
I used to always feel alone,
but now I know I'm not the only one.
