from your violet room i see your shadow
from your violet sky i close my eyes
somewhere along the line i beat the devil
we were caught up in a ring of our own disguises
so i run faster than i thought
and there you call our for me

will wonders never cease to amaze me?
the way i collide with what you need
i pulled you too close
i must learn to let you go
and find my way back to the land of dreams

from the aging dawn there comes a shadow
and from the yellow sand i see my life
parading around through darkened windows
i was caught up in a ring of my own disguises
so i ran further than i thought
and you can't find me

this is where we contemplate, pontificate existing further
out into the corners of the room where we're kept hidden
this is where i speculate, articulate
that i am drifting up, slowly up, slowly up
