The Euphio

Late at night by the radio glow,
A little laugh in the static folds low.
They found a signal that could change the rain,
Turn every heartache into champagne.
But the sweetest sound can hide a fall,
When you can’t feel anything at all.

If the joy comes easy, what’s it worth?
If it pulls the whole world off the earth?
We chase the light, we pay the cost,
Until we find what we almost lost.

Oh, the Euphio, it feels so right,
But it can’t love you in the middle of the night.

Down in the lab with the blinds pulled tight,
They watched people smile till the silence bit right.
No tears, no war, no reason to stay,
Just empty hands and a perfect day.
And the louder that the laughter grew,
The more they forgot what made them true.

If the joy comes easy, what’s it worth?
If it pulls the whole world off the earth?
We chase the light, we pay the cost,
Until we find what we almost lost.

Oh, the Euphio, it feels so right,
But it can’t love you in the middle of the night.

So give me the hurt, give me the scars,
Give me a life that reaches for stars.
Not a borrowed smile, not a machine-made dream,
But a human heart, with the whole messy scheme.

If the joy comes easy, what’s it worth?
If it pulls the whole world off the earth?
I’d rather feel the tremble and the fault,
Than live forever in a sugar-sweet vault.

Oh, let it go, let the signal fade,
I want the fragile life we made.
Yeah, the Euphio fades, but I’m still alive,
With an aching heart and a reason to survive.
