about

This song is originally performed by a previous project of mine called Paradrei. It is about the struggle between being safe and being free.

lyrics

Fluorescent lights and blinding sights
All to make us feel safe and sound
Monuments to heaven and stars above
Leaps and bounds, over and out

Oh I swear I pray each and every day.
Marked my page to read what to say.
I’m down on two knees riding the sins away
I say I’ll do more then nothing at all.

To the eye in the sky
We have failed to comply
Save our failing minds
Abandoned, no reply
The eye in the sky

Oceans of iron, static waves
Echoes of ghosts...
I’ve given myself to the larger cause
The want to be safe and never be free

Red, orange, and yellow dye
Colors of the fourth of July
Save our failing minds
Abandoned, no reply
The eye in the sky

I have heard the tolling bells
Countries of steel afore me fell
I am prepared for the journey home.
I have seen the hand of God
Covered in wires, gears, and cogs.
Hurry up now for the journey home.
Take control and lead me on...

Red, orange, and yellow dye
The colors of the Fourth of July
Save our failing minds
Abandoned, no reply
The eye in the sky
