[Verse 1: Brittany Swanson]
If you could never hear, then how could you know sound?
For those who know only fear, how can trust be found?

[Chorus 1: Brittany Swanson]
How do we open up our eyes?
How do we ever realize?
How do we learn to listen down?
Just listen down
Just listen down

[Verse 2: Us]
Have you heard of Plato's cave?
Blind until you break the chains
Minds affixed are raised as slaves
Stuck in the information age, it stays the same
Always frightened and made afraid
I might just set the place ablaze; replace decay
Yesterday's today is tomorrow's fate
If we wait to change our ways it'll be too late
Hindsight graphs explained in pain, but we declaim the blame, cause there's no fame in shame
So let's retrain to restrain and refrain ourselves from rage or hate
We must reclaim ourselves from a cage of faith
Engage our brains
Can't educate if we don't question everything
Uncover truth, find fact from fake, fight this fate, face the future
Most of all, don't forget to stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake

[Chorus 2: Brittany Swanson]
How do we open up our eyes?
How do we self-analyze?
How do we learn to listen down?
Just listen down
Just listen down

[Bridge: Us]
Sound preachy so I bite my tongue
Blame my vision, I'm still young
Foresight stings when the past is done
Unforeseen at least we're all blind as one
Can you find the sun?
Can you hear the drums?
Speak your mind my love
It's time for our dreams to wake up

[Outro: Us]
Silence doesn't fall on deaf ears
