lyrics

I took a picture of us yesterday
And sent it up into the cloud
A bigger picture I don't think we see
Maybe the sunshine is getting to me
Blurring my vision and burning my eyes
So much potential but so little time
I ride on the waves to the ocean I seem blind

I took a picture of us yesterday
And sent it up into the cloud
The bigger picture stares right back at me
Reflecting a light on this anxiety
That's clouding my vision and burning my mind
So much potential but so little time
I stand in the rain to the water I seem blind

I had a dream that when I was in school
All of the stairways they seemed to lead down
End up in a basement or a prison somewhere
Try as I might I couldn't get myself out of this place
Though the light at the end of the tunnel
Was gleaming away burning a hole in my mind

Just like the sun
Just like the sun
Just like the sun
Just like the sun

I saw the picture of us yesterday
The one through the window of Apollo 8
Suspended in blackness the blue and the white
That we're slowly burning up from the inside
Like loading the chamber in Russian roulette
Leaving one empty and placing the bet
On the lives of the followers whose future is set
By the owners of the means of production and wealth

I wasn't born in the heart of a star
To give away agency through a device
That I charge overnight by the bed that I dream in
Dreams that feel more real than seventeen hours a day
I awake, plugged into the real world
A world of illusion
A world that's consuming itself

Just like the sun

You take aim but I'm standing right next to you
I worship the same things you do
I kneel at the altar of choice
All wrapped up in my plastic paradise
The time
Stop
The time I can't stop
I'm holding on
It's dragging me by my fingertips
Into a Brave New World
Where the sun becomes Gustav's Bringer of War
