[Verse 1]
Looked in the mirror
So many people standing there
I walked towards them
Into the floodlights
I heard no echo (No echo)
There was distortion everywhere (Everywhere)
I found my ego (My ego)
I felt rubato standing there
Found my transcendent (Transcendent)
It played in mono painted blue (Painted blue)
You were the Pierrot (The Pierrot)
I was the dark room (The dark room)
[Chorus]
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (In your eyes)
You'll probably shine it back on me
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs
[Verse 2]
I saw the solstice (The solstice)
The service station on the road (On the road)
I took the acid (The acid)
Under the white horses (Down the road)
My heart, it quickened (It quickened)
I could not tear myself away (Myself away)
Became addiction (Addiction)
If you see darkness, look away (Look away)
[Chorus]
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (Look away, look away)
You'll probably shine it back on me (Look away)
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs
[Verse 3]
Oh, glorious world (Glorious)
Oh, potent waves valleys gone wild (Potent waves)
Connect us to love (Us to love)
And keep us peaceful for a while (For a while)
[Chorus]
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (For a while, for a while)
You'll probably shine it back on me (For a while)
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs (In your eyes)
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (In your eyes, in your eyes)
You'll probably shine it back on me (In your eyes)
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs
I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs
