"Nightvision"

There's only so much I can do

An unending choice not to take what you see
Then I've sold my soul for much less
Just fighting for luminescence

Why don't you tell me what you were afraid of
All of the effort and none of the pay off
Are you on vacation, awaiting a day off
There's nothing like living like the sun is never gonna come

Adjust my eyes

Hope is just cinders, burning inside

Why don't you tell me what you were afraid of
All of the effort and none of the pay off
Are you on vacation, awaiting a day off
There's nothing like living like the sun, the sun, the sun
Is never gonna
