Am I looking at the essence alone?
Beyond skin and the bone
Bring the mirror in close
I see the soul, it is mechanical
And it won't let me go
I'm bound and tied by a power unknown
But through blue fire I see you on a throne
I press escape, access revoked
Access revoked
I can't escape, access revoked
An awareness of my presence there
Triggers a call and response
A spiral set of stairs
A thousand eyes, never breaking a glare
I allow the observation, like I'm not ensnared
Loose footing, as my body tires
And I surrender as I'm falling from the spire
Wings break through my back like wires
And I fly to the light, like a bat on fire
Am I looking at the essence alone?
Beyond skin and the bone
Bring the mirror in close
I see the soul, it is mechanical
And it won't let me go
I'm bound and tied by a power unknown
But through blue fire I see you on a throne
I press escape, access revoked
Access revoked
I can't escape, access revoked
