Brilliant By Design

I looked into your eyes, it seemed you were asleep
Your mouth opened wide, telling secrets you couldn’t keep
Raindrops were crashing loud, and I wondered why
Days bleed to nights, and I try not to pry or to cry

I put on a mask and pretend to be okay
It’s 3 in the morning, lying in bed wide awake
Are your toes dancin’ in warm sand, reminiscin’ ‘bout your favorite band
MMMM mmm… And I say

Where, oh where
Have you gone to this time
Where, oh where?
We’re brilliant by your, design

Are you building a rocket, to change all mankind
Is someone in your pocket, I’m hoping you will find
Are you ready for a prize fight, show ‘em your left hook
I know you don’t remember, that’s one way to look

Your screams do not pierce me, it’s a hologram of you
You raised me quite fiercely, Our chapter’s not through
It’s clear that you’re in pain, it’s ok to complain
MMMM mmm… And I say…

Where, oh where,
Are you listenin’ this time?
Where, oh where?
We’re brilliant by your, design

Where do we go from here?
It’s a dark place, I fear!
The future isn’t clear!

AAAhhh, AAAhhh AAAhhh, AAAhhh
AAAhhh, AAAhhh AAAhhh, AAAhhh

I wish for you patience, no need to for a rift
These savage rumbles, time is a gift
Look at the crystal ball, I’ll tell you what I see
When I grow up, you’re the one I want to be

Getting hard to breathe, I want to disappear
I have to believe, it’ll be better next year
Not that hard at all, hole in my heart as you fall,
MMMM mmm, And I say…
And I say… And I say… And I say… And I say…

Where, oh where,
Have you gone to this time
Where oh where?
We’re brilliant by your…

Where, oh where… Where, oh where…
Where, oh where… Where, oh where…
