Watching the Lightbugs Glow Lyrics

[Non-Lyrical Vocals]

Brother Eye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Brother, I don't want you to die
Brother, can you live forever?
Brother, I don't wanna cry
Oh
 
[Refrain]
Can you live forever?
Can you live forever?
Oh
 
[Chorus]
You were born and the dark was changed
Like the stars into the night
Like the sun breaking through the sky
Brother, I, I
 
[Verse 2]
Brother, I can see into your eyes
And the way you look for something better
And you can try to act like it's forgotten
Oh, I see it way too often
I see it way too often
Oh
 
[Chorus]
You were born and the dark was changed
Like the stars into the night
Like the sun breaking through the sky
Brother, I
 
 
[Refrain]
Can you live forever?
Can you live forever?
Oh
Can you live forever?
Oh
Can you live forever?
Oh

Assassins of Youth Lyrics

[Verse 1: Steven Drozd]
Assassins of youth
Even when they tell the truth
Another little part of you dies
Their truth is a lie
Assassins of youth
Shoot whoever they can shoot
They are still here going on and on
You're already gone, gone
 
[Chorus: Wayne Coyne]
I was young yesterday
But now everything has changed after today
And I don't know what to do
Oh, my younger self, oh I, I miss you
Yes, I do
 
[Verse 2: Steven Drozd]
Assassin of youth
Even when they tell the truth
Another little part of you dies
Their truth is a lie
Assassin of youth
Shoot whoever they can shoot
They are still here going on and on
You're already gone, gone
 
 
[Chorus: Wayne Coyne]
I was young yesterday
But now everything has changed after today
And I don't know what to do
Oh, my younger self, oh I, I miss you
Yes, I do
 
[Instrumental Bridge]
 
[Outro: Steven Drozd]
I guess I couldn't see
The joke, it was on me
How sad to think in time
Even your death will die
I can't believe you died
I can't believe their lies
They shoot whoever they can shoot
Assassins of youth
