Nocturnal Future Lyrics
It's feeling like the world is just a wicked game
Sell ourselves and lost all shame
Aren't you tired of living with your eyes shut...
Are you living with your eyes shut?
I thought when I got older
I wouldn't think of things this way
Scared to raise a family
I might not live to celebrate
But time's been so hard for most of us
Some days we all give up
Life's not made for the hopeful ones
It makes you run from what you trust
It's feeling like the world is just a wicked game
Sell ourselves and lost all shame
Aren't you tired of living with your eyes shut
Find the truth I know that we're afraid of
'Cause the world is such a wicked game
We're numb to war, we look away
I say try to fix the pain that we made
Face the dark sun, don't look away
Don't look away, oh oh oh
Face the dark sun, don't look away
It's hard to face the mirror
When you don't love what you see
The problem feels too big to solve
But it starts with you and me
Everything feels broken
Yet we look the other way
Life is made for the hopeful ones
Hope you bring us better days
It's feeling like the world is just a wicked game
Sell ourselves and lost all shame
Aren't you tired of living with your eyes shut
Find the truth I know that we're afraid of
'Cause the world is such a wicked game
We're numb to war, we look away
I say try to fix the pain that we made
Face the dark sun, don't look away
If you feel lost like I know you do
You've found your home
Stare into the dark sun
Everybody thinks they know the way
You tear me down every single day
But everything has led me here
And I see in the dark
It's feeling like the world is just a wicked game
Sell ourselves and lost all shame
Aren't you tired of living with your eyes shut
living with your eyes shut
'Cause the world is such a wicked game
We're numb to war, we look away
I say try to fix the pain that we made
Face the dark sun, don't look away
Don't look away, oh oh oh
Face the dark sun, don't look away
Sell ourselves and lost all shame
Aren't you tired of living with your eyes shut...
Are you living with your eyes shut?
I wouldn't think of things this way
Scared to raise a family
I might not live to celebrate
Some days we all give up
Life's not made for the hopeful ones
It makes you run from what you trust
Sell ourselves and lost all shame
Aren't you tired of living with your eyes shut
Find the truth I know that we're afraid of
We're numb to war, we look away
I say try to fix the pain that we made
Face the dark sun, don't look away
Don't look away, oh oh oh
Face the dark sun, don't look away
When you don't love what you see
The problem feels too big to solve
But it starts with you and me
Yet we look the other way
Life is made for the hopeful ones
Hope you bring us better days
Sell ourselves and lost all shame
Aren't you tired of living with your eyes shut
Find the truth I know that we're afraid of
We're numb to war, we look away
I say try to fix the pain that we made
Face the dark sun, don't look away
You've found your home
Stare into the dark sun
You tear me down every single day
But everything has led me here
And I see in the dark
Sell ourselves and lost all shame
Aren't you tired of living with your eyes shut
living with your eyes shut
We're numb to war, we look away
I say try to fix the pain that we made
Face the dark sun, don't look away
Don't look away, oh oh oh
Face the dark sun, don't look away

“‘Nocturnal Future’ is meant to be unexpected, and from the moment it starts I think you feel a new energy in the music we haven’t captured before. I wanted to encapsulate all of the things our fans have loved into one song, intricate guitars, flashy yet tasteful drums, meaningful lyrics and melodies you’ll want to sing along too. Lyrically, it’s a call to each of us to try to do more in a world seemingly hell bent on destroying itself. By the end of the song we want you to have pictured yourself at our show losing your mind, hopefully we’ll see you soon!" - Telle Smith (The Word Alive frontman)
