Bright When It Shines

from Elixir by Snake Oil Charlatans

/

lyrics

Your comfort leaves me cold
It’s much too quiet
I see what I’ve been shown, but looking with my own eyes
I think, but I don’t know
This is uncertain
There’s nowhere left to go but everywhere at once

It’s bright when it shines, a life you live dancing like a star
But right when it’s mine, I realize just how false your reasons are

My eyes along the sky
On the horizon
A sea of blue and white, but bolder than the dirt
Some people give their lives to chase illusions
To taste the sweetest lies and not the bitter truth

Paint a picture with your hands
Exhibit it across the land
Dig your toes into the sand
But it won’t hold you up
Sing a song in falsest voice
Sing it like you had no choice
Sing and let your hands rejoice
But I won’t hold mine up

I won’t hold you up
