VERSE ONE:
home doesn't suit me
my dreams awake me
my voice mutes me
can you speak for me?
i am but a wanderer amidst the foggy clouds,
am i hiding or not? you find out
PRE-CHORUS ONE:
and i befriend my demons
even though they change shape each time i look at them
sweet, merciful coraline
till she sews buttons into her eyes
i am cursed to partake on a journey
that will inevitably end,
in the death of me
but ain't that how, many others live?
ain't that why, many warriors quit?
CHORUS:
first thing, i yearn for an earthling
birthless, breathless
or a flower yet to planted, sprouting seedlings
i yearn for a meaning, for anything at all
wind's whisper or a bird's call
VERSE TWO:
don't speak
rivers flow, waterfall-s
inside of me
i set out as a peacemaker
and came home a conqueror
PRE-CHORUS TWO:
and i come from a clan
that's higher in power, but ruthless on land
we emerge from the sea, we sing our true callings
till early dawn breaks in the morning
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
please... give me back what, i never asked you to take
bring me back home, i'll guide myself all the way
stand with me on the edge of a rooftop, for a trust fall
on the count of three, dive with me
(instrumental)
there's a tree, inside me
growing leaves of money
rich in love, the bees work
to make honey, to sell for free
(flowers, sprouting seedlings)
(CHORUS)
"on the count of three, dive in with me."
