lyrics

The ancient liminal zone
All creatures that are caught in this dream
Web of lies that we call home
Knowing only what I can perceive
Dive in from the night to the light
To make sense, tail lashing side to side
To pick up speed, as the circle draws tight
To descend on another life

Teach me to soar, to ascend
To be the monster in this nightmare realm
So we can have space to pretend
We’re not the monsters in this nightmare realm

If it moves it can sustain
Swoop down on huge, silent panther wings
Naked as beasts tugging at the world's chain
All of us just ghosts in that machine
Essences, disjointed
To make sense, bring it up into our night
Drawn back into circle of beating blood
The percept, descending on time

Can’t break bonds you forgot how to feel
Vicious as weasels, unleashed and unrevealed
From the song, that’s hidden, that we never fail to hear
From flames yet unburned, that which you breathe


Chained and bound to the beast
To the world’s dream
Nightmare, the only air that we can breathe
