lyrics

Like a beacon
Floating in the night
Lightens sometimes laughter freezing
While we fight

Like a shadow
Ghostly in the light
Touches something wider haunting
Reach new heights

Like a maze
The programmed ways we all pretend
Like a dream
Atmospheric ceiling above us all

Like the starlight
Watching in the haze
Chooses someone diamonds teaching
Stop and gaze

Like the songbirds
Sweetly in the rays
Carries somehow desperate rising
Swept away

Like a test
The borrowed quest we leave behind
Like a dream sweeping under its’ beams
Unconscious time

Pain can’t believe you care
Rising the starless land
Energy shooting there
Jewels are surprised
When they end up on your hands
