lyrics

I've been observing the neighborhood
It's been quiet since the students went home
for summer
This new horizon has come through you
Nothing need be said or need be thought

We put a daisy in the rifle barrel
and set our sights on something rather new
A world that's free of dilatory peril
to carry our true nature into view

As open skies inspire you
everything you know will prove untrue
and once you wish for nothing new
everything you wished for will come true

We've been going against the wind
and rowing upstream
in troubled waters
Chasing fallacy with false pretense
chimera surrounds our windows

But now the veil has lifted from our windowpane
to show us we aren't our names or thoughts
more so psyches of freedom from addiction
to moments of eternity lost

As open skies inspire you
everything you know will prove untrue
and once you wish for nothing new
everything you wish for will come true

As open eyes inspire you
everything you know will prove untrue
and once you wish for nothing new
everything you've wished for will come true

And I extend my heart to you
All you thought imperative withdrew
When sun of morning makes you new
everything you're holding passes through
your hands

And I extend this life to you
And I extend this light to you
