Name: Too Bright to See, Too Loud to Hear
Duration: P00H03M00S
Description: "Define the Great Line" turned Underoath into one of my favorite heavy bands. Their two following albums blew me away as well. Though it's on the lighter side of their music, "Too Bright..." is incredible. It is especially strong lyrically and melodically, making it conducive to a vocal arrangement.

lyrics

Good God, if Your song leaves our lips
If Your work leaves our hands
Then we will be wonderers and vagabonds

They will stare and say how empty we are
How the freedom we had turned us up as dead men

Let us be cold, make us weak
Let us, because we all have ears
Let us, because we all have eyes
Good God

How they knew that this would happen

We're so run down

Good God, can you still get us home?
How can we still get home?
We're forgetting our forgiveness
