lyrics
Eyes wide open but I can't see
Blind to the beauty that lies around me
Eyes are focused straight ahead
Never noticing the ground on which I tread
A busy life is a black hole
That strips the starlight from my soul
The city lights are too bright to see the stars
If this town were a ship we wouldn't know where on earth we are
Where are we
We put so much on our plate
And don't remember why we eat it in the first place
We bite off more than we can chew
We think it's what we're supposed to do
Busy lives can be black holes
That strip the starlight from our souls
The city lights are too bright to see the stars
If this town were a ship we wouldn't know where on earth we are
We can sail around the globe without ever leaving home
There's so much we don't know beyond the brown glow of these city lights
It's almost as if we prefer to keep it so
Blind to the beauty that lies around me
Eyes are focused straight ahead
Never noticing the ground on which I tread
A busy life is a black hole
That strips the starlight from my soul
The city lights are too bright to see the stars
If this town were a ship we wouldn't know where on earth we are
Where are we
We put so much on our plate
And don't remember why we eat it in the first place
We bite off more than we can chew
We think it's what we're supposed to do
Busy lives can be black holes
That strip the starlight from our souls
The city lights are too bright to see the stars
If this town were a ship we wouldn't know where on earth we are
We can sail around the globe without ever leaving home
There's so much we don't know beyond the brown glow of these city lights
It's almost as if we prefer to keep it so

greybarrel draws inspiration from a combination of classical & choral music and mainstream rock from the 60s to present. ... more The resultant aesthetic is melody-driven rock that gets heavy on the harmony, whether it's a playful pop song, slow-burner, or canon. greybarrel finds fulfillment and therapy in playing & singing and therefore seeks to write music that is accessible, genuine, and moving. less
