Seance II: The Muse (feat. State Alchemist)

Chase the daylight
Gaze awhile
Through the window
At storm clouds drifting on
Feel the rain
Can you hear it fall
I can hear it fall

My five-year plan falls apart in seconds
All systems failing
Striving in vain
Bloodshot eyes fixed on the clock that strikes me down

Asleep at the wheel again; nothing is real
My friends beg me to get help
But how could I fend for myself when so much else has gone wrong
Must I pantomime flight till I fall
All the way down

Trapped in a prison I've designed
What's left to lose besides my mind

Every day's the same
Sleepwalking
Every night I'm lying wide awake

I've had my wings clipped by fatal fear of falling
Reach in the dark for gates that close before me
Not suffering, just malfunctioning
If I can't right this ship
Then I'll run aground a castaway

I woke up to see all souls were rising
Drifting on without me; light was dancing

The night heron wears a black crown
As he whittles down his evenings
Where no fish would ever poke their heads out
Only diving into shallow water

All day, in a white robe
Thinking while he could be living
He sleeps in 'til the night comes
Sleeps in 'til the night comes

The night heron rests his head on a
Limestone bed in the rapids
Mind and heart racing to out-run one another

When I met him
I was struck by the similarities in us
By the wind that filled my eyes with dust

Let it in
Let it all in
Let it in
Let it all in

I cannot tell which way this wind blows
Distressed by the thunder's crashing
Falling down like a kite in tapering wind
Salt water in the wound

Look inside
Just close your eyes; be free awhile
All your life
You've blamed yourself and don't know why
But your truth is still before you
Open your eyes

Look inside
Just close your eyes; be free awhile
All your life
You've blamed yourself and don't know why
But your truth is still before you
Open your eyes
