Magician 05:02
I fell asleep, there was a world inside of me I never knew my own immense capacity And in the morning I'll be floating And now I see this is the ending For you and me, a new beginning I found a wall, part of a bigger entity It's make believe, yet it's controlling everything Ascendancy, a fire screaming through the trees, I don't belong, so why's this place so welcoming And in the morning I'll be soaring And now I see this is the ending For you and me, a new beginning On stars unseen we're making wishes Come now with me, I'm the magician

Autumn Chrome, I think it's beautiful you fall alone Here in a palace you don't feel at home, come back with me Autumn Chrome, leave all the fables in your head alone, Here in a dream where you don't feel at home, talking with trees Autumn Chrome, I found you crying in the catacombs, Over the reasons why you feel alone, come back with me Autumn Chrome, I think it's beautiful you cry alone, but what I mean is that it tears me up beautifully Then we get caught up by the breeze, And we go flying through the trees, There are some secrets that I've had to keep, Can you forgive me for my dreams I have tried so many times to mend the things I see inside, There's stars projecting from your eyes, you've spent so long alone inside, A princess living in a cell of gold and silk objective Hell, The shadows will conceal your face so come now to another place Then we get caught up by the breeze, And we go flying through the trees, There are some secrets that I've had to keep, Can you forgive me for my dreams

Homely spirits I offer sympathy, May you return as a sweet magnolia Exposition on foggy memories How they grow is a mystery to me And you'll never see the way That they often kneel and pray And you'll never know a thing Of what happened to the trees And you'll never see the day When they muster up to say There are oh so many things That are hidden in the trees Wandering warrior, I am so alone I'm a prisoner born into the throne Conversations they feel like pulling teeth, Talk to me until I finally fall asleep And you'll never see the way That they often kneel and pray And you'll never know a thing Of what happened to the trees And you'll never see the day When they muster up to say There are oh so many things That are hidden in the trees

I have slept through storms and wasted time Suffer all the children, two were left behind And two were left behind So secret sister send a whisper From the other side A tiny glimpse of something true from the waking life, I'm on the other side So secret sister send a whisper From the other side A tiny glimpse of something true from the waking life, I'm on the other side Secret sister send a whisper from the other side The part of you remaining true To the waking life, I'm on the other side Drifting into shadows, losing time If my eyes befall you, I am going blind And I am going blind I'm in other worlds, I'm so afraid No one knows my fate, it's always been this way It's always been this way So secret sister send a whisper From the other side A tiny glimpse of something true from the waking life, I'm on the other side Secret sister send a whisper from the other side The part of you remaining true To the waking life, I'm on the other side

And so, the waves, they came and dragged us under, our fingers laced as we know that its over the world is such a dark place, my lover and so the waves, they came and dragged us under under under under under It's not for you I came here just to suffer it's all the world collapsing right beside her my phantom girl is laying in the gutter and so the way she weeps is so much colder colder colder colder colder "my darling, I have never seen the summer our laces tied as we run from the winter, auroras fill the darkness, my lover it's all for you, the princess of the autumn"

Wake up and wander with the changing seasons, I'm enigmatic and I have no reasons, Follow behind me as we search for someone, Someone who's able to see There's a name for the things that you feel inside There's a time and a place and it's just not time You can sleep it away, go inside your mind Climb the mountain alone, I'll be far behind Imaginary friend you've lingered so long I always kept you and I played you my songs If I could climb above the things I did wrong Maybe someday I will see The mountain tells a story That you'll be waiting for me The easy way is not an option when a storm is coming, The mountain tells a story That you'll be waiting for me The easy way is not an option when a storm is coming, There's a name for the things that you feel inside There's a time and a place and it's just not time You can sleep it away, go inside your mind Climb the mountain alone, I'll be far behind

As the mage fades into night, Onward to the peak Something lies for us behind Gray we can not see, Trust in darkness, bathe in light, maybe we'll be free Come with me my rosary, even if we sink It was always meant to be, It's funny don't you think? Whether or not we are free, we were never free Where am I my lullaby, what is happening? Suddenly my body's weak, I can barely see Falling quickly into time, are we truly free? Where am I, my dragonfly, are you there waiting? Now I am awake again, free of violent dreams But I shall return to you, so it sure does seem

Curse me, this is overwhelming evidence compelling everyone to stand behind the signal fire Trust me, this will end so quickly, sleep can be forgiving If you hold the hand inside and free yourself tonight Phantom hiding in the garden, tear yourself apart then Just as if there's something inside waiting for releasing No one said it's easy living and appeasing Greater powers hiding in the serpents of your mind Once upon an autumn breeze, we fled the roots of cursed trees Time is faster than our feet, and now we'll both have cursed dreams Time won't wait for anything, the Earth is bursting at the seams I'm awake and now I see, That life is filled with cursed dreams
