see with all eyes

they said the new year’d make it right, but they couldn’t fool me;
if they side with their heroes, how will the darkness bend from us?
you could’ve just asked me.
if I scroll up, I can travel back in time;
is forever just when nothing ever changes?
was it always like this?
kick it back a bit now, baby.
lately, i’ve been thinking;
i want to fly not flee from thunder.
have you ever dwelt in the desert?
does it scare you like it did back then?
