lyrics

How did we survive this year?
When I close my eyes and look back,
all I see is a starless sky on election night.
I see a wax man in a wax crown
on a wax throne in a very old, stone building.

The building is full of very old, stone people
making very old, stone decisions.

I try not to close my eyes.
I try to keep my eyes on the road
and remember to look up sometimes.
Remember to look up sometimes.

But it's hard;
it's hard when you're asleep.
It's hard to open your eyes when you're asleep.

Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.

How did we survive this year?
Did you flick that switch in your head?
Did you switch it on or off?
Or did you take a crowbar to the breaker box
and open your eyes?

Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.

Now, when I close my eyes,
I see a riot and a sleeping bag.
I see a blizzard and a wood stove.
I see a fire-pit.

And I feel a hand on the back of my head.
I feel a hand on the back of my head.

I try not to close my eyes.
