lyrics

It took a bucket of paint in a sulphurous rain to get to that plane
Took through daybreak for this entity’s identity, oh when did he grow the gall to venture… Mmm?
It was a matter of time but to reach the sublime, to wean the man off antiseptic
Notions that no longer rendered space but just a pasty, glutinous, sick redundant winter... Mmm…

I swam for safe distance
And the dreams were granted since
He said, “Now, I’ve got Existence
And I’m alive in every sense.”

You meddlesome, bright queens of insight, that’d be all right,
But if it’s true that he’s coming home, then your sick-ology’s a toxicity.
Plus, the medicine might mess with the light
And when they crowned the cranks, they granted
Magic with the lance of fixed views and in this way
They masked the chance to graze in the open air and this I pray
That the antiquated cracks come to light and burn away

Swim for safe distance
And the dreams will be granted since…
‘Cept, now, I don’t understand.
Am I allowed to any say?

YEAH!

Swim for safe distance.
And the dreams, they will be granted since...
Now, I’ve got Existence,
And I’m alive… in every sense.”
Swim for safe distance,
And the dreams will be granted since…

Now I got existence....

With notions that no longer render space, adjust the pace
‘Cause they mask chance to graze in the open air, and this I pray...
That the icy templates crack and melt away…
