Shut my eyes Feel the color of you So get to this elation So high so fast Shut my eyes Feel the color of you Succumb to this illusion So strong so deep 'cause everyday is all there is In my some kind of bliss 'cause everyday is all there is In my some kind of bliss Study my reflection And let the colors fall Slip into stillness And be above it all Good to be here Time to be alone I've found a space where I belong Not succumb to fear 'cause everyday is all there is In my some kind of bliss 'cause everyday is all there is In my some kind of bliss
