The Beam

I've been speaking in strange foreign tongues I've been staying up all night If I can't find a way to stay young Then I'll keep doing what feels right If I can't find my way around it If I am destined for this hell Then I'm going into business Make some money, might as well So I've been making sacrifices In the forest every night I have seen the fucking mountain In the morning - in the light I have staked my life upon it Watched the sun set from both sides I have chased the beast into The painted forest where it hides And when I find that feathered serpent Be it day or dead of night I'm gonna shine my light upon it Like it's never been so bright And when illuminated By the moonlight, by the beam I'm gonna finally find out If these things are how they seem I'm gonna shake the cage I'm building Steal the stars that dare to shine String them up across the ceilings Of the tunnels in this mine This mine of mine where I will mine This mountain for it's veins It's like these lines are in my mind But I will mine them just the same And I've been making sacrifices In the forest every night I have seen the fucking mountain In the morning - in the light I have staked my life upon it Watched the sun set from both sides I have chased the beast into The painted forest where it hides And when I find that feathered serpent Be it day or dead of night I'm gonna shine my light upon it Like it's never been so bright And when illuminated By the moonlight, by the beam I'm gonna finally find out If these things are how they seem
