The sweet sounds of worship escape from your tongue Your hieroglyph dance, your medicine song The child of silence asleep in your palm As lightning and rainbows form blood brother bonds Full of universal dreams you can't seem to shake off As you step out of time, for effect, for a cause With your moonlight laugh and your red giant bombs And your cometted chaos and your calm empty arms I could've sworn I had you, but I had you all wrong I should've let it go but I'm still holding on to This theory of mind This skeletal self This body of water This hand I was dealt This big block of ice On my head slowly melts From this fever of feeling Like somebody else As soon as I'm someone I'm somebody else Eighty thousand lines, and where have I got I'm starting to think that my compass is shot I keep tracing the circles you told me to draw Keep blackening pages, keep stumbling on Keep hoping to find something I never lost Inside the silhouetted whirl of some secret first cause I see the cold winter wind turn to early spring thaw Turn to hot summer nights turn to more leaves lost Now it's my turn to drink, but the hemlock's all gone And the rooster's been butchered and so has the dawn of This theory of mind This skeletal self This body of water This hand I was dealt This big block of ice On my head slowly melts From this fever of feeling Like somebody else As soon as I'm someone I'm somebody else
