Illuminated

From Happiness2010

Lyrics

Illuminated

Time waits for no one So do you want to waste some time Oh, oh tonight? Don't be afraid of tomorrow Just take my hand, I'll make it feel so much better tonight

Suddenly my eyes are open Everything comes into focus, oh We are all illuminated Lights are shining on our faces, blinding

Swing me these sorrows And try delusion for a while It's such a beautiful lie You've got to lose inhibition Romance your ego for a while Come on, give it a try

Suddenly my eyes are open Everything comes into focus, oh We are all illuminated Lights are shining on our faces, blinding

We are, we are blinding We are, we are blinding

Suddenly my eyes are open Everything comes into focus, oh We are all illuminated Lights are shining on our faces, blinding

We are, we are blinding We are, we are blinding
