The One

We are now ready for take-off this wonderful evening And I will now need your full attention To simply avoid being in the passenger's seat on this journey I ask you to understand how these chemicals originate and function In order to take control of your own well-being Stepping into the dust and smoke The screams and noises drown me out Screaming at the top of my lungs But I'm just one, just one in the crowd Bathing in the hollow light as I see my people fill the streets I feel the rubble touch me underneath my feet A slight intimidation, as friendly faces around me show And a touch of hesitation, as I feel my fingers grip the stone Tell me is there solace For all that I am doing? Now tell me are we lighter From our sacrifices? Now tell me are we flying Just tell me are we heightened Or is the ground just sinking? The floor just caving in now? You're never gonna see me alive You're never gonna leave me alive You're never gonna see me alive You're never gonna leave me alive You're never gonna see me alive You're never gonna leave me alive The One Remember that your brain got wired From your individual past experiences And the patterns and routes for every person are vastly different Your mind built connections And is now wired to turn on your brain chemicals In the same ways they were activated in the past While the gas burns inside The liberation has begun No claustrophobia, acrophobia Watch the pieces come falling down while I raise Oh so high Tell me is there solace For all that I am doing? Now tell me are we lighter From our sacrifices? Now tell me are we flying Just tell me are we heightened Or is the ground just sinking? The floor just caving in now? You're never gonna see me alive You're never gonna leave me alive You're never gonna see me alive You're never gonna leave me alive You're never gonna see me alive You're never gonna leave me alive The One As we are now approaching our cruising altitude We ask you to lean back to take a moment to reflect over this journey Is how you get there really as important As arriving and getting there in the first place? Thank you for your attention Tell me is there solace For all that I am doing Now tell me are we lighter From our sacrifices Now tell me are we flying Just tell me are we heightened Or is the ground just sinking? The floor just caving in now You're never gonna see me alive You're never gonna leave me alive You're never gonna see me alive You're never gonna leave me alive You're never gonna see me alive You're never gonna leave me alive The One
