Lyrics
It’s two degrees
Hotter than everything I see outside
The city sleeps in this afternoon right by the pale blue light
I hear the birds they're singing
Dancing and flying from left to right and so should we
Believe in what we’re living
You stay indoors
When the heat in ring-seats bet against you
Finding malls with the AC turned on nice and so cool
And you ignore
The glare that is staring right in your eyes
Staring in your eyes
But we seal the doors to our imagination
And we fail to find the will to explore
Scared to live outside our, our condemnation
We’ve been boxed and packed and labeled for export
We the shadows can we rise above it?
And the light that shines so bright can be ours
I believe in this Grand Creation
And the truth survives where our lies do not
Roll the dice
Yet always seem to end on one conclusion
Thinking twice
What it means in this trend of manipulation
Time to decide
Don’t fall for this call of misdirection
But do we?
Believe in what we’re living?
The shadows fall
In light of time’s long amusement
Feeling small
Insecure with the heart and minds confusion
And you recall
The glare that was staring right in your eyes
Staring in your eyes
Believe
Believe in what we’re living
