Lyrics
Don't hide away from the sun
When the fog clears and the rains dry
Grab the switch to reset the circuitry
Push the door and step outside of your mind
If your universe contracts
And the black holes try and pull you in
Stand your ground and reset telemetry
When the voice says your strength is wearing thin
Come here boy
It's good to have you around
Spit out that pill
And don't make a sound
Don't hide away from the sun
When day falls away from the night
Push off the doubt of complicity
And let your true self ignite
When gravity causes collapse
Pull away as it tries to pull you in
Skip off the surface of darker things
When the doubt tries to seep under you skin
Come here boy
It's good to have you around
Spit out that pill
And don't make a sound
Cause there's a bad, bad dream bedside
And it's got your name
Once you dream it
You'll never be the same
