lyrics

Looks like you're coming undone
The vaguest recollection in the darkness where they run
So tell me how to begin
A labyrinth leading endless, a spiral I fell in
Still something beckons you on
A voice that softly whispers your secrets 'till they're gone
A half lit world kept inside
Hands guide you through the darkness, they keep your path aligned

I'll do my best here to trust you
Identifying the things that I must do
They said- all the world is your stage

You had the time of your life spent
Watching the rise and the fall
What dreams may pass through here
Make paths for us all

And there's still stories to tell
A list expanding endless, no wishing in the well
I think the body's a cage
A prison I'm all tangled in that holds me all my days

So only claim what you need here
Be careful with the intake, it rents a room in your head
It's your space, fill the page

You had the time of your life spent
Watching the rise and the fall
What dreams may pass through here
Make paths for us all

Blue Flowers.
The Haunting.
The places you saw.

I hear a voice in the dark calling after me
Is it trial by fire cause it has to be?
Are your imaginings joy? Do they find you peace?
Let it embolden your hope 'fore it atrophies
I don't know your name
Let all of the world be your stage.
