about

We reach the end, we reach conclusions. This is the one life we get. Let's not spend that time hiding in caves, frightened of make-believe, petty fairy tales. Life is more beautiful, and we'll all treat each other better as a result.

lyrics

I thought I saw those words.
I'll read them again a little more slowly
And take better care in what they say.
To some they speak the truth.
To others, they read a lot like a fiction.
And some just wish it go away.

Those on the right see only beauty there.
A beauty they'll never know.
But I'm not one to follow only pretty words
And poetry of times gone by
Now buried far below.

The sun is finally up.
A million years of dark and the cold and
My eyes are hurting from the light.
I can't deny the sun,
While others prefer to live in the shadow
And are awakened by the night.

Though we have left the caves to touch the moon,
Our eyes watching further still,
I'll never understand the thinking that
It's better in the darkest caves.

I guess I'll never will.
