Have you ever stopped to wonder why they keep us from this place?
lyrics
The golden sun, the neon lights
I read about them from inside
The crystalline caves
If we are caught, so far astray
The leaders might take our lights away
But let’s stay, yeah let’s
Stay a little longer, I would keep your secret safe
Look at all the pretty colors, bending through refractive shapes
Have you ever stopped to wonder, why they keep us from this place
I think about it all the time, in these crystalline caves
This source of light around my neck
Was never enough to look ahead
Could barely tread
The crystals branch our lights around
It’s magic, I know it
I see it now
I see you now, so let’s
Stay a little longer, I would keep your secret safe
Look at all the pretty colors, bending through refractive shapes
Have you ever stopped to wonder, why they keep us from this place
I think about it all the time, in these crystalline
Caves, maybe they’re wrong,
I know they say we are too young,
But hey, maybe we get
Our friends to come here to
I bet they are, just as beautiful
Our shift’s starting soon, the whistle blows
Go back to the mines, and what we know
I know you’re scared, well I’m scared too
They may own the light, but they don't
Own the truth
And one day we’ll
Stay like this forever, no more secrets to keep safe
And everybody’s lights amplified by refractive shapes
And we won’t ever have to wonder what leaders
Do or say,
I dream about it, all the time…
You and I
In these crystalline caves
