Cuz you know I've always had this dream

I've felt it deep within my blood

I've felt that ever present sting

Just as my spirit starts to bud

Yea I sometimes see things

A way that no one else sees

So quickly riotous

That quiets as

That spirit recedes

I bear myself in these things

Pour out my heart on my knees

But lodged in every cut and crevice lies this burden to please

Feels wrong to color in scenes

Feels worse to favor a string

Fooling the maturing prometheus

No fire to bring

I know my life was never something that i could understand

The constant tug-a-war

Of alien

Or patterns of man

Grew up as broad mimicry

And I'm still learning to breathe

Inhibited by pressure placed on me

To sift through debris

And though the world embellished character while taking my hand

The truth is optimizing nature cannot risk that demand

A cosmic form out of space

It's just a spit in the face

To cowards building isolation to propel a thin trace

The dream is ringing again

Carefully shedding its skin

Shipwreck's scraped past event horizon

Now it's dragging me in

And though my hope feels so small

I've no intention to fall

To finally escape Romulus above his crumbling wall

And when the time comes round to hover down and embrace the ground

I know my voice may shake and stutter but i still can make sound

I'll pray to god for relief

I'll pray to find words to speak

I'll pray that anyone i've met along this path won't be me

I keep my head to myself

For now my grasp's on the shelf

Delay the heartache staying awake

I can't take any help

Searching's become such a rush

It barely ripples the dust

If signs of life stay under three firm locks

It won't wither trust

There can't be warning to give

We both know how that would end

I lock down contact brace for impact

See the lights closing in

I'm only swept off my feet

For but a moment to flee

Afraid to meet a new arrival

Facing what i might be

I guess as recognition gathers it disperses the crowd

Laid with the seed of close encounter

Resurrection of doubt

Discern the cry from the mouth

Discern the rain from the drought

Discern the plain and obvious from every root we may sprout

Next time that interstellar sail descends i'm hopping aboard

The tidal wave left in its wake is still the calm of the storm

There's no return from this now

Wings slicing through the gray clouds

As far below they scream and shoot the sky to console the proud

You talk the same

And you think and act the same

And you fall in line and point your hands and shake your heads and laugh in the

Exact same way

And you punish all that's alien

It doesn't have your face

Doesn't have your stench

Is that what you wanted

Is this what you wanted

Is this what you wanted

An earth with no garden

We're not bound by weakness

Without that we're soulless

We are bound by sameness

Only aliens survive

Only aliens

Cuz you know I've always had this dream

I've felt it deep within my blood

I've felt that ever present sting

Just as my spirit starts to bud

Yea I sometimes feel real

A way that no one could feel

So quickly riotous

That quiets as

That spirit recedes

I bear myself in these things

Pour out my heart on my knees

But lodged in every cut and crevice lies this burden to please

Feels wrong to color in scenes

Feels worse to favor a string

Fooling the maturing prometheus

No fire to bring

I know my life was never something that i could understand

The constant tug-a-war

Of alien

Or patterns of man

Grew up as broad mimicry

And i'm still learning to breathe

Restricted by the best intentions

Think they see what i see

And if that time comes round to hover down and embrace the ground

I know my voice may shake and stutter but i still can make sound

I'll pray to god for relief

I'll pray to find words to speak

I'll pray that every single person in this world isn't me
