Rise your eyes
To the blue, moonlit sky
Do you know where you are?
Watch the sun rise
Dawning bright
Washing away the morning star
Take everything, take everything you can
Take everything, take everything I can
Take everything, we can
Does this feel as real to you,
As a world we could never have?
Anything and everything we could hope to pursue
Anything and everything within our grasp

Though the rain is slowing
The thunder draws near
Dark clouds dance across the white-blue sky
Can I take this home?
This feeling, can I take this home with me?
Though the lightning's a-glowing
There's nothing to fear
As long as I'm beside you, you'll be safe right here
Can I take this home?
This feeling, can I take this home with me?

Bottle of Starlight

I recall on that night
Thousands of fireflies alight
Waltzing through the trees
Upon some suburban breeze
Newest moon, red-rimmed sky
Darkest blue, starlit night
Tucked away, locked inside
Precious things
How I hoped to capture
The feeling in a phrase
"Lighting in a jar," no...
"Fireflies to chase away the darkness"
How lonely I believed you to be
Or were those feelings
Merely my own?
Was it you who needed
That bottle of starlight?
Or was it I?
Choking on fear
Learning to cry
Pleasure and pain
Locked inside
Never again will I lock away
These precious things

The World is a Lie

This can't be real
The world is a lie
I'm starting to acknowledge
Everything I despise
If this is real
Then why's it falling apart?
The sun sets
In its imperfect arc
The truth I hoped to make of everything
Emptiness
Everything is filled with space
It's all disconnected
Down to its very base
But how can anything be empty
When everything is filled with things
So vast and endless
And full of empty pangs?
The truth I've come to make of everything
I will rebuild it from scratch
I will discard the past
We'll begin again.
