Eclipse - Intellectual

[Intro: Court Walters, with Mitch Burgess]

I've realized every person I see

Is hanging from perilous threads just like me

With every step, each moment becoming a memory

Another page in a book I won't read

Every eye witnessing beauty

And every mouth drawing on the cup of life

To bear witness is to open your eyes

[Verse 1: Court Walters]

Waiting on the wings of an awakening

I can see that we're outnumbered

A collision of contrition

And the consequences of leading a life we half-formed

[Verse 2: Mitch Burgess & Court Walters]

The black and the white that spans the fabric of existence

Is yours to weave your thread through

Should you grow bored of the road to your horizon (Your horizon)

Let your colours flare

[Chorus: Mitch Burgess & Court Walters]

Reaching out for the fire that's burning beneath your ribs

And a hunger that drives a conviction in you

Paint a picture that shines with the light

That you thought was forgotten

Let your colours flare

Feeling them frantically searching for an escape

(For an escape)

This tempest, it rages inside of us

[Verse 3: Court Walters, with Mitch Burgess]

I will turn the pages of the books I won't read

Every eye witnessing beauty

And every mouth drawing on the cup of life

To bear witness is to open your eyes, uh

[Bridge: Christopher Dicker, with Mitch Burgess]

It's the edge of the mirror, a glimpse in the night

A match to the pyre and knowing you're right

Letting this caution float free on the breeze

Refusing to live a life down on my knees

[Chorus: Mitch Burgess & Court Walters]

Reaching out for the fire that's burning beneath your ribs

And a hunger that drives a conviction in you

Paint a picture that shines with the light

That you thought was forgotten

Let your colours flare

Feeling them frantically searching for an escape

(For an escape)

This tempest, it rages inside of us

Every eye witnessing beauty
