[Verse 1]
I remember sticks and stones
Thumbs on the controller
Smoke in the carpet glow
Heart beating harder, bolder
I felt so alive then
Like nothing could touch me
I laughed at the dark screen
And I let it crush me
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the years run fast
Like sparks through my hands
One breath, one flash
And it’s gone again
[Chorus]
Blink of an eye
Blink of an eye
I miss no one
I’m still here, still fine
Blink of an eye
Blink of an eye
Happy came hard
And it hit me alive
(Blink of an eye)
[Verse 2]
I don’t carry old names
I don’t feed old fire
Just a grin on my face
And a louder desire
Metal in my headphones
Metal in my chest
Every scar got a name
But I never let it rest
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the years run fast
Like sparks through my hands
One breath, one flash
And it’s gone again
[Chorus]
Blink of an eye
Blink of an eye
I miss no one
I’m still here, still fine
Blink of an eye
Blink of an eye
Happy came hard
And it hit me alive
(Blink of an eye)
[Bridge]
Time cuts clean
No mercy, no stop
I stood in the wreckage
And I did not drop
If the world turned cold
I turned it to steel
What’s gone was gone
But I know what I feel
[Breakdown]
Sticks and stones
Break on the floor
Sticks and stones
I don’t need more
Sticks and stones
Can’t hold me down
I raise my face
And I wear that sound
[Final Chorus]
Blink of an eye
Blink of an eye
I miss no one
I’m still here, still fine
Blink of an eye
Blink of an eye
Happy came hard
And it hit me alive
Blink of an eye
Blink of an eye
Time flew by
And I’m louder tonight
(Blink of an eye)
