LYRICS
So I made my first friend in
The light that came through the window
And landed on the floor beside me
From the moment that you took my empty hand
I was spirited away, and I’ve been stuck in this dream world
Even though there’s so much that’s ordinary
Every once in a while
Magic can be found somewhere in there
Then again that might’ve been the devil talking
I haven’t been able to wake up from this dream since then
Calling out to me, the caged bird cries-awakening me
What I’ve lost, the steps I can’t retrace
No matter how I might try now
So why is it that my body wants to live on
And why can’t I figure out what it is my heart wants?
Ah, each time I inhale the world continues spinning
Each time I exhale is proof that I’m still alive
Come on now, that’s the sound of the key turning
There’s whispers of what I’ve been searching for
This scarlet blood courses through me still
So I’ll pull those invisible strings together, give it all that I’ve got
Always bombarded with these difficult choices
As if I've been forced to choose between day and night, nothing new
No, it doesn't matter what, or just how much I'm willing to give up
That treasure seems to be out of my reach, still
Do I want it back, or is that something I've always longed for?
Opposite the campfire, it sways and disappears
Is it not yet time to leave this place? This isn't the end…
I'm still stuck in this dream I can't seem to wake up from
You say you can still press on
Well, in that case
Sing the song of the wind blustering through
Along with me until the break of dawn
The stars will keep shining on, with or without you
And tomorrow will make the present the past, too
A world that's perfect to the point of being cruel
Somewhere in there common ants stumble along, and
The drumming of my heart that's still beating
That's the only thing that guides me through it all
Though I'm filled with doubt, the legs that I have believed in
Will carry me forward, I'll bet everything on them
[Instrumental]
So why is it that my body wants to live on?
And why can’t I figure out what it is my heart wants?
The world that is connected in spite of it all
Each time I exhale is proof that I’m still alive
Come on now, that’s the sound of the key turning
There’s whispers of what I’ve been searching for
This scarlet blood courses through me still
So I’ll run to the place where the invisible strings will melt away
