lyrics
I was told you were
aiming mirrors
to cast me out
disconnect the light house
valued personnel
hired ranked strangers
old news and...
an echo of.
Purpose
such unrivaled
purpose
ubiquitous presence
ubiquitous presence
ignore me, I dare you.
they all
they all say
that I'm gonna die soon
sad eyes
watch this ship
sail away and forget it.
they all
they all say
that I'm gonna die soon
sad eyes
watch this ship
sail away.
I was told you were
hiding down there
I was told to go alone
I was told to go
this is important
It's been long enough
we're responsible
we always were
Find out
so we can resume
solve everything
I hate feeling used
I'm thinking this is a mistake
This place seems way to far away from someone so valuable. Man, I hope that I'm wrong. I think I have an Idea, but I'd rather not say. I'd rather not say.
Tattooed across the linings of my head it says, " You are going to leave". I had a strong feeling that they would cast me out for that goose. But I'll just focus on the open water and the possibilities thereof. I won't return. I won't.
And, why would I when I can see forever and the corners of my mouth reach my ears?
the corners of my mouth reach my ears. It's been entirely too long.
I can see forever. Why would I return?
I remember me as the corners of my mouth reach my ears.

Years later I still get the same excitement listening to the album as I did for the first time seeing them live in Athens, GA opening for Caspian. You all made a lasting impression no doubt! So many words of praise... unique, solid, technical, complex, musical, passionate, poetic... This is a top tier album and group!
