"Look Alive" lyrics

The hardest thing is rendering a
Moment moving too fast to endure
But you abide and smile wide because
I want to remember this, for sure
You can give me guns and politics and
I'll just make a mess of it, you know
Give me art and sustenance and
The wiser, wider part of me will show
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Pictures say with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
A wider angle shows

Yeah every empty one of us have methods
To quell the madness of this pace
But yours have bled and are running south
Like dollar-store mascara down your face
You could take that weight and all that fuss
It all just gets the best of us, you know
Give me love, not suicide, and
The wiser, wider part of me will show
Yeah, yeah

Pictures say with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
A wider angle shows

Look alive
Smile, smile and look alive
Smile, smile and look alive
Yeah, whoa, oh

Pictures say with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
A wider angle shows
Pictures say with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
A wider angle shows

Look alive
Smile, smile and look alive
Smile, smile and look alive
Yeah, whoa, oh
