VERSE ONE:
there we go, the perfect spot for us tonight
there beneath the stars, i feel the earth splitting wide
i fell under a children-ghosted well
i gave up wonder for a one way trip to hell
i lift boulders that collapse under my weight
i look hither and tither to catch the planets spinning my way
i call my own name to catch me in another time frame

CHORUS:
but i hear no echo, i see no picture
they say they'll catch me, i beg to differ
'cause i leave no trails, and i don't whisper
my whereabouts in full-moon rapture
my hideout is one you can't speak of
books of stillness, ignore my scriptures
constellation charts and alchemy potion-makers

VERSE TWO:
counterfeit... this i must ignore, this i must speak against
this arguement... i must implore
you, i must defend
forever stuck in a dream, grasping the edges of the bedsheet
i'd rather lose my identity than to be turned down by god completely
send me a cure, and i'll give you faith tenfolds

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
don't break in through the walls of my skin
i can reach ahead but i see nothing
clouded skies and mind akin
did you mark your trail?
this is peril, make it back safe

(CHORUS)
