about
This song is all about those moments that fill the background of our day to day. Often the most overlooked but most crucial parts of living.
lyrics
So much passing me by
day to day Head down,
keep watching the time Drift away
The sound of sirens alert me
Across the street a man is just trying to
Speak his mind, we’ll all go to hell
Unless we wake up from the lies that we tell,
I walk on past and he hands me flyer with angry eyes ,
BLINK and you’ll miss the lightning.
My feet pound in beat as they hit the concrete and
my eye it is caught by a woman,
she’s tired and seen better days
as she sells her news wrapped in plastic and
Dreams of a world
where she can be seen as herself not a cog
inside the machine, I check fo change but I’m out just like always,
The way it goes
Blink and you’ll miss the lightning
day to day Head down,
keep watching the time Drift away
The sound of sirens alert me
Across the street a man is just trying to
Speak his mind, we’ll all go to hell
Unless we wake up from the lies that we tell,
I walk on past and he hands me flyer with angry eyes ,
BLINK and you’ll miss the lightning.
My feet pound in beat as they hit the concrete and
my eye it is caught by a woman,
she’s tired and seen better days
as she sells her news wrapped in plastic and
Dreams of a world
where she can be seen as herself not a cog
inside the machine, I check fo change but I’m out just like always,
The way it goes
Blink and you’ll miss the lightning
