lyrics

Drawn through the eye of the needle and hung from the ceiling
Unfocusing sight in the faltering light of the evening
Paint to the ends of the windows to leave the edge seamless
Intangible images; clarity call me to witness
Gone to wander empty rooms
And turn the screws

I traded my feeling for some foolish fragment of wisdom
Buried my embers and read by the light of the prism
I'll stand indecisive at the threshold of my mausoleum
Or press through the paper-thin walls that divide me from freedom
Faces frozen in their frames
Begin to wake

Turned to glass
And golden wire
I'd swallow the ashes to recall the fire

If mystery leads me
Through a rift in the sky
And gravity's hands slip from my eyes
I'll let the flame fall
So the cinder may rise.
