Hopeful clarity for the hopeless. Let it out. Look inward then toward the morning sun for instructions. You'll know exactly what to do. Recorded in Woodstock NY.

lyrics

Lyrics ~

I saw you waiting there, like a poet searching for a word.
Your indecisive stare knows not which way to turn.
What if the way to go is, What if the way to go is
Upside down.
Oooh ooh ooh.

They come for us in the middle of the night,
But we know what this really is
They come to fade us and take us to the mall.
But you will not find me there.
You will not find me there.
You will not find me there.

But I will meet you in the morning light and we’ll cry like comedians do when there’s nothing funny in the truth.
And we don’t know what to do.
And we don’t know what to do.

Ahhhh Ahhhh

When you looked at me and you said, “I don’t think I can do this anymore..”Why is this happening?” I thought it was over for sure,
Now it’s Open doors. Open doors.
But you still see the fear in my eyes, and I’m so scared it’s ending but you swear it’s not ending.

Until the lone bassoon in the orchestra plays the low notes, whole notes
We’ll know exactly what to do.
We’ll know exactly what to do.
