about

Utopia Today is the new single from Brand New Moon's forthcoming second album due later in the year.

lyrics

this one says:
what’s flesh and blood tomorrow
is utopia today

inside, behind the door
grows another prayer
and the prayer grows old

take it all, take it all
take all this in-between

say that you can make it real
as heavy as a head can feel
falling for your logic
falling through the screen
say that you can set us free

this one says:
keep half the mind in focus
and the rest at play

outside, outside the door
the transcendental lawyer shakes
and takes another call

take it all, take it all
take all this in-between

say that you can make it real
as heavy as a head can feel
falling for your logic
falling through the screen
say it you can set us free
knowledge and reason
dancing on ganymede
falling in the craters
falling through the dream
say that you can set us free

just half a word from you, maybe
am I just half a cloud in someone else’s sky?
sitting half a hair from you maybe, am I?
a thought can be stilled
the mind can be denied
i thought I heard you sigh
a word can be blurred
a thought can be stilled
the mind can be denied
but the money, the money never lies
