In the chattering crowd
A pocket of quiet solitude
Overtakes everyone
In reference of what′s now
A resonance on a vast landscape
Beam breaks through the clouds
A vanishing point in the afternoon haze

Bridgeway out of town
Dividing the way to the unknown route
Captivates everyone
Sunlight beating down
Clearing the way for the empress to be
Ready to reign in the dark

Interstitching shrouds
Sharing the fabric of the new gown
Protected from distress
She keeps her heart in a reliquary
Faced with endlessness
Remembering how she found her way here

In spite of best laid plans
Unravelling dreams are strung up in the absence
Of clear and present minds
Fast asleep on a train loop returning

Is this the tunnel of light
That takes us back to the place we departed
With fingers intertwined
Light diffracts into coloured bands that split into parallel lines
My shadow strobing across the sidewalk

Projections mirrored back
Retreat inside of a daydream
To distract this waking life
Who can take this and how long will this phase last

Tracing footprints back
Unsure of all the paths that I'm taking
To search for gems in the mine
The satchel breaks from this weight that it′s holding

I take what fits in my hand
The entrance caves in, leaves me stranded
Pulls the sword from the sand
The howling wind draws her into the forest

Cuts through the weeds and the vines
A distant call makes her slightly nervous
I cup this guiding light
Unsure if I'll find my way to the surface

In another timeline we were strangers
Never to light the fuse
We all have to rely on other strangers
See this world gets us through

I can't hear exactly what you′re saying
At least I know that it′s you
Ropes lowering down
Now I'm ascending
Everything′s on
Everything's on too soon

Feel it every time I hear you saying
Need you more than you think
Don′t have to go the way that's paved for
Plenty of paths to seek

I know there′s worlds to what you're waiting for
Will they gravitate to you
Nature never tires from rearrangement
Everything's on
Everything′s on
Everything′s on too soon

A moment in time that's never ending
Shooting star across the sea
Did you have to rely on other strangers to get where you want to be
I know this folding has an ending
But when do the corners meet
I think you noticed you′ve been here

Everything's on
Everything′s on too soon
Everything's on
Everything′s gone to sleep
