The Bright Side

[Chorus]

The bright side is blinding our eyes

And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'

The bright side is just a white lie

That the crowd keeps singin', singin'

You are a busy bee, you are a busy bee

[Verse 1]

Sunshine, sitting on a pavement crack

Everyone was staring back, but you didn't mind

Sunshine, futile were our defenses

Backwards ran your sentences until reeled the mind

[Pre-Chorus]

Next what's fear and silence in

Wait just all we'll then

Upside-down everything

Turning done you're when

[Chorus]

The bright side is blinding our eyes

And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'

The bright side is just a white lie

That the crowd keeps singin', singin'

You are a busy bee, you are a busy bee

[Verse 2]

Back then, fighting with the permanent

Pushing through the sediment 'til we lost the trail

Back then, those days felt like house arrest

Half-awake and self-possessed, we thought we'd prevail

[Pre-Chorus]

Among the rain and lights I saw

The figure "5" in gold

On a red firetruck

That's what I was told

[Chorus]

The bright side is blinding our eyes

And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'

The bright side is just a white lie

That the crowd keeps singin', singin'

[Outro]

The bright side is blinding our eyes

And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'
