This darkness consumes the light
Your faults and concerns, do they keep you up at night?
If this doesn't haunt you, I'll draw inspiration from what talents you left behind
Do you feel alive or dead inside?
Your ghost shades the glow that gave you life
We follow suit and blindly chase the views they redefined
An illusion of comfort, a scene that's no greener on the other side
(I promise it's golden)
Stay wide-eyed, beautiful
Hold close to what matters most
(And sun-dried like the hills on the central California coast)
But alive with hope
I find myself in what's been lost
As pages fold over, our youth becomes a fog
Our goals was what defined their love
Like hands in ticking clocks, our time won't let up
What's moving forward one day all still ends up stuck
(I promise it's golden)
Stay wide-eyed, beautiful
Hold close to what matters most
(And sun-dried like the hills on the central California coast)
But alive with hope
(I promise it's golden)
We follow suit and blindly chase the views they redefined
(And sun-dried)
An illusion of comfort, a scene that's no greener on the other side
