Radiant

(album: Arc - 2013)

I'm staring through the telescope hungry
I'm staring through the telescope at all, at all
I know
When every inch of matter is measured
And every force and element is known, is known
It's on
You're looking for whatever comes after
You're looking for a way to escape
Escape it all
You're looking for a map with no markings
You're having second thoughts about it all
It all

But I see, a Geiger counter, and I see, a Richter scale!

Go! Leave your homes! Take whatever you can!
It's no joke! It's coming towards you!

And you can make a difference so easy
You can make a difference but you don't, you don't
I know
And you never tell me anything real now
You never have the time to watch it all, it all
I know
And everybody thinking of the same thing
And nobody is saying it you know
You know it all
You skip a generation and find it, you skip a generation and oh
And oh

And I see, a Geiger counter and I see, a Richter scale!
And the truth is, the birth of a child
The sunlight, it's all I ever had!

Go! Leave your homes! Take whatever you can!
It's no joke! It's coming towards you!
Go! Leave your homes! Take whatever you can!
It's no joke! It's coming towards you!

And I could make a difference so easy
I could make a difference but I don't
Darling, I'm closing
