The Firmament - Look Closer Lyrics

Could you be one of these drifters
Caught in a stasis
Grimace of defeat plastered on your faces
Habit is the instrument of all your repose
But all around you there's something enlightening to unfold

So why don't we just get loose
Get ready, get jumping, get loud
If you just walk a little farther
Think a little harder
Stand a little taller over the crowd

You gotta look closer
You gotta look closer

You gotta crack open the box tonight
Rip it wide and expose all the light
You'll be blinded cause your eyes can't adjust
That's what happens when you hide in the dark for life

Closer, you gotta look closer
You gotta look closer
You gotta look closer

Realism, the prize chosen if you are wise
Infatuation that disguise created for demise
Mirror image project a flaw you detect
Sound the alarm; warn the others of the harm
You feel no regret
From the consequences set
You gotta look closer

You gotta crack open the box tonight
Rip it wide and expose all the light
You'll be blinded cause your eyes can't adjust
That's what happens when you hide in the dark for life

Closer, you gotta look closer
You gotta look closer
You gotta look closer
You're blinded by the light

Closer, you gotta look closer
You gotta look closer
You gotta look closer

Everybody look around when you know the time is right
Open up your mind
Close your eyes to improve your sight
When it comes around
You'll embrace the blinding light
Streaming through the windows
Every day and every night

Crack open the box to expose all the light
Slice open your mind with a swift serrated knife
It may blind your eyes and take away your will to fight
But you should not have cowered in the dark for all your life
