lyrics

I threw myself into the machine
to turn the gears from within
I really don't know what separates a false start
from a clear win
but I can still see the light in the man from the future

tied a chain of blankets and sheets
from window to street
each slips away from the other
my story is complete
and the ground leans in
to give me a good night kiss
and I'm back in my room again

breadcrumb trail gets eaten by the birds
I'm lost deep in the trees
I laugh out loud
and watch the sun stumble through the leaves
as epic men lead epic lives
in deep hibernation
conquering the castles of their dreams
light the sky my firefly
the morning is stalking all your midnight friends you never see
mother earth sends her sons over unknown waters
the man from the future stands up to leave

galaxy of doom
it isn't very far
melt into my arms
just let your secrets out
mirror of your smile
hold me like a child
I'm sleeping in the dark
