Hello! Welcome to the world of Wide-Eyed. You may ask, "So, Where exactly am I?" Well, you're in a place that is full of music always, that is always the rule. This music will push and will pull, And you will ask, who is playing the fool? Some lush moments filled with beauty, Some crazy moments, even a bit quirky, Some dark moments of truth and reality, Some surreal moments of cartoonish insanity. So, if you find that you like these sounds, then we know your artistic appreciation abounds. Because we believe that first comes the song, Then all of the rest will naturally follow along. But, if you find this music is not pleasing, You must ask yourself: "why am I wheezing?" Is it because you hear purposeful imperfections, or because it avoids common connections? So, we'd like you to listen again and again, Because we would like us to all be friends. Not just like in a silly children's song, but a place where real people can really get along. Before you go, we would just like to say, most of all, we hope you enjoyed your stay.

Story behind the song
Written on 7/21/2001, this was intended as a "fill in the blank" song, almost a musical theater piece about a songwriter, not being listened to (traffic passing by), playing his version of a protest song, which, eventually nearly every singer/songwriter writes. This is the 9th track on our first album "LUCK".
Lyrics
Look at the clouds In the smoke-filled sky Look at the disbelief In my eyes I set no fire Flames consume The hatred of brothers Will burn the room Too many people In too tight a space No one stops to help us Avoid any answer Destroy our living space There's a fire on tonight And it's not the sun Who sets this fire? Smoke consumes No time to retire No man on the moon No one is certain Who owns this place Does it even matter? Deaf to the answers Survival is a race There's a fire on tonight And it's not the sun
