lyrics

Woke up to an unnerving sound
The children outside where all gone
and the ground was neglected and I was ashamed to have been at the scene
I'm watching these people just wander around
Their eyes in a glaze, their heads to the ground
Avoiding the contact that we as the human might need

But I'm awake, I'm in love, I've got silver in my blood
I can't live forever but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and when this sun sets over my head, thats as real as it can get
I'm not dragging a life of regret to my grave

Void of the truth and some old world style
We've lost all our swagger and never get high
and wait for the moment that last breath caresses our lips

Singularity will come one day
Won't think for ourselves and the records won't play
I'll be screaming in silence just look up and look around

Cause I'm awake, I'm in love
I've got silver in my blood
I can't live forever, but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and this sun sets over my head
That's as real as it can get
not dragging a life of regret to my grave
I'm awake, I'm in love
I've got music in my blood
I can't live forever but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and the sun sets over my head
that's as real as it can get
I'm not dragging a life of regret to my grave

I'm awake, I'm in love, I've got silver in my blood
