lyrics

Free
A thousand feet I ascend
Sleep
surrender to my portent

I see you playing hide and seek
and suddenly you're someone else
Consumed in my unending haste,
my infinite unrest

I can believe
I can reveal

Out,
of my window
steel spires,
poking through clouds of toxic air

A serpent god atop the stairs
is flanked by kevlar men
It regards me with suspicious fear
ten thousand feet it will descend

The touch of an attendant clad in blue
shatters the synaptic veil
A miasma of recycled air and food
a clue for what beyond entails

Endless fleets of aimless ships
are anchored by an unknown spell
Suspended in a final resting place
before the days when cities fell

I can reveal
I can believe

My heart's filled with hatred
I do want you to know
I've lost all my patience
I won't come back to you

Will you stand with me now
that you know what I am
The truth is
almost self evident

An American dream
for a mind of the free
Hold your fire
I am coming in peace

I can reveal
I believe, ooh

Don't take me to a southern sea
I will fly the golden mean

You may have left the gate but no one ever saw you
You only see a place where no one can defend you

I fly direct
I just fly direct

Here I come
