The world is speeding up
And light's not the same
When I look away
Pictures of particles
But I say Hello
And you give me a wave
It's true
We trade our attention for tokens to spend at the zoo
Your life is a canvas to paint red green yellow and blue
You'll find me looking up
Wishing on clouds as the wind blows to push them away
Stained glass coffee cup
The same sky of stars still thrills me today
It's true
We trade our attention for not much of anything good
Your life is a canvas to paint it however you choose
Well I've never forgotten your face
The image still forms in my brain
And I've always thought Isn't it strange
How light behaves in different ways
I'm slowly catching on
To all of the things to do to fill up the day
The path I'm walking on
The path of the righteous or the path that leads to my grave
The path of the righteous ends on center left stage
So up from the flyrail we'll watch the play
We'll watch the play
Well I've never forgotten your face
I build monuments in your name
And I've always thought "Isn't it strange
How light behaves in different ways"
