Lyrics
You don't know, you can't see it ain't right
Did you think you could hide in plain sight?
Life goes on with or without you
But I hope you know I still care about you
I know you think we're all out here on our own
But you don't have to go this alone
You don't stop, you don't go, you ain't right
Did you think you could hide in plain sight?
Looked up and the heavens opened
Does it really all have to wind up as nothing?
Look down at the ground, life's eternal struggle
It's just a dream, oh, I hate to burst your bubble
Times change, entire lives reduced to rubble
Stars shooting down in all their hope and glory
Fools march on the earth lost in the forest
But then
What if the world become sweet again?
Hand in hand
Everybody all best of friends, golden ends
Could we handle it?
You don't know you can't see it ain't right
Did you think you could hide in plain sight?
Life goes on with or without you
But I hope you know I still care about you
I know you think we're all out here on our own
But you don't have to go this alone
You don't stop, you don't go, you ain't right
Did you think you could hide in plain sight?
Out on my own, ain't nobody watching
Now what happens is on my own watch, and
The world won't listen, the world won't understand
But if you do, oh please take my hand
I'll follow you unto the end of the earth
Still realize, still realizing silent rebirth
Near death reflex, where does it come from?
Some have to lose it all to wanna live again
To just sin again
Can only win within
You don't know you can't see it ain't right
Did you think you could hide in plain sight?
Life goes on with or without you
But I hope you know I still care about you
I know you think we're all out here on our own
But you don't have to go this alone
You don't stop, you don't go, you ain't right
Did you think you could hide in plain sight?
You don't know you can't see it ain't right
Did you think you could hide in plain sight?
Life goes on with or without you
