[Verse 1]
Brother, do you believe in an afterlife?
Where our souls will both collide in some great Elysium
Way up in the sky, free from our shackles, our chains
Our mouths, our brains, we'll open all the gates
And we will walk careless straight into the light

[Verse 2]
I've never felt so enlightened with every page I turn
I only find myself feeling more alone, posing questions to a silent universe
My very thoughts are cursed, they just seem to multiply
Forever in my mind, brother, don't grow up
Brother, please never grow up

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Hold out against the night, guard your hope with your life
For the darkness, she will come, oh, and you'll have nowhere left to run
Oh, but your eyes are wider than mine, and help me to sleep
I just hope that age does not erase all that you see
Don't let bitterness become you, your worldly hopes are all within you

[Outro]
Just hold out against the night, guard your hope with your life
