Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Looked in the mirror

So many people standing there

I walked towards them

Into the floodlights

[Verse 2]

I heard no echo

There was distortion everywhere

I found my ego

I felt rubato standing there

[Verse 3]

Found my transcendent

It played in mono, painted blue

You were the Pierrot

I was the dark room

[Chorus]

I'ma shine a light in your eyes

You'll probably shine it back on me

But I won't fall this time

With godspeed I'll heed the signs

[Verse 4]

I saw the solstice

The service station on the road

I took the acid

Under the white horses

[Verse 5]

My heart, it quickened

I could not tear myself away

Became addiction

If you see darkness, look away

[Chorus]

I'ma shine a light in your eyes

You'll probably shine it back on me

But I won't fall this time

With godspeed I'll heed the signs

[Verse 6]

Oh glorious world

Oh potent waves, valleys gone wild

Connect us to love

And keep us peaceful for a while

[Chorus]

I'ma shine a light in your eyes

You'll probably shine it back on me

Yet I won't fall this time

With godspeed I'll heed the signs

[Chorus]

I'ma shine a light in your eyes

You'll probably shine it back on me

But I won't fall this time

With godspeed I'll heed the signs

I won't fall this time

With godspeed I'll heed the signs
