lyrics

You venture to the center but you hit the helm
Meanwhile across the galaxy I skipped a realm
Dip through spaces refreeze glaciers
I reappear with a cloak and five mages
We cast a spell that's vast as Hell
Thoughts propel, splash ash across the well
Let's all excel, crosses and garlic spells
Regard the smell as poison where goblins dwell
Well, inhale thoughts that fall frail
Your consciousnesses is a wall that's been scaled
On the other side problems I've thought reside
Off the side will foster lies
Confusion, one contusion
Sun's moving, earth's been clued in
Illusion it's a total eclipse
Gravity flips sideways, polarity glitch (switch)

We were lost in a world there was no return
Surrounded by people showing no concern (x3)
We were searching for respect we were yet to earn
Because the lessons of this life we were yet to learn

Unbelievable, inconceivable,
The data was lost and unretrievable
A dream deferred, yet it's unreachable
A lesson was learned yet it's unteachable
Class dismissed, I can't seem to make up all the time I missed
So I vanish in the air like a cloud of mist
And get props like plays and a pound of fists
(you like the sound of this?)
I ain't down with this - a world with no return
I left a trail of crumbs but the trail was burned
Other exit strategies we failed to learn
It's a scene from "inception" and I'm waiting my turn
Even Satan's concerned, but he keeps it on the low
Stuck in a nightmare, nowhere to go
Hotter than hell but colder than snow
Now the longer you wait, the older you grow

We were lost in a world there was no return
Surrounded by people showing no concern (x3)
We were searching for respect we were yet to earn
Because the lessons of this life we were yet to learn
