Continuing to Burn Lyrics

Sunlight runs away from me

But we all love the view

Light and dark are friends you see, in a never ending duel

Blue skies fade to red then black, and we all see the stars

The same old stars the cavemen saw, gazing out to Mars

It's the same old thing that people been feeling forever

But I'm just feeling it now for the first time

It's the grand illusion we paint that life gets better

It's the gas continuing to burn to keep the light bright

Keep the light bright

Floating in the mountain tops, rising through the air

Smoking through the atmosphere, kind without a care

Gently drifting in the sea, slowly sinking down

Landing near a coral reef, resting on the ground

It's the same old thing that people been feeling forever

But I'm just feeling it now for the first time

It's the grand illusion we paint that life gets better

It's the gas continuing to burn to keep the light bright

Keep the light bright

Sunlight runs away from me

But never fails to return

Today could be your greatest day, but it could also be your worst

You might get a brand new car, you might get a raise

You might get locked behind bars, or get kicked in the face

It's the same old thing that people been feeling forever

But I'm just feeling it now for the first time

It's the grand illusion we paint that life gets better

It's the gas continuing to burn to keep the light bright

Keep the light bright
