lyrics

Verse 1

A devil waits out my window
He's looking for a way to get inside
I'm looking for a saint online, status update, or a sign of the times
But I don't know if I believe them

Pre Chorus

What about you, kid?
What do you stand for?
What are your beliefs in this vision of grandeur?
Are you in a world where all the city lights went off?
Then look a little closer

Chorus
Just Look a littler closer

Verse 2

I am but a boy; a symbol
And sometimes I don't trust my thoughts
I can destroy more than I will ever make
But I don't want to feed that demon

Pre Chorus

What about you, kid?
What do you stand for?
What are your beliefs in this vision of grandeur?
Are you in a world where all the city lights went off?

This is not your room, kid
This is a platform
This is where you face everything that you asked for
This is not a world where all the city lights went off
Just look a little closer

Bridge

I found a forest down the streets outside
And like an anchor to my feet, untiable,
it kept me back from the dreams I'd die in
I wrote it down so that I could find my way back
To the pen, to the paper, to the music
I could let it all out, I could lose it in the air
Then a song became an album
This is mu psyche, out and about
And more

Keep your eyes up
Keep your eyes up, boy
Keep your eyes up
Keep your eyes up

Keep your eyes up
Keep your eyes up, boy
Welcome to the album
Stepping outside the door
