Depths II

[Verse: Garrett Russell] All the world was a dream I couldn't shake In a midnight reverie of which I'll never wake [1] That started mundane enough With an incessant tapping on the windowpane, separating me from the storm Where inside I sat, me the loathsome fool [2] With my head cocked sideways in confusion But as my looking glass [3] became a two-way mirror And you can watch me hide from everything on this living sphere But don't you dare darken my doorstep, [4] stranger Never a step more, no, no, nevermore [5] You see, I have this reoccurring dream Where we snuck past scores of slumbering guards And fixed that rustic iron key and that lock to set you free "I would bring you liberty" where, in reality, I'm a coward I'm collateral matter, swayed by banalities of time and space, I'm a name without a face [6] My trepidation reached threshold, my terror turned to madness When I awoke I was swinging at shrouded silhouettes and stumbled out the door My anger was extinguished by this downpour Compelled, void of volition My steps propelled me through this chronic storm Where there in the clearing, throughout the gaps in the trees Dark smoke flickered from fire, illuminating my unease Like clockwork, seven sisters [7] turned together in a circle Autonomy abandoned, they moved singular and perpetual Around a dark blue flame where I heard you call my name [Chorus: Garrett Russell] "I am the fire that is never quenched And I am the river that will not run dry" When I slept in that garden [8] Lord, did you see me as I was dreaming? [Outro: Garrett Russell] This is the end of everything We'll lose our divisions and forget our names [9] The precipice of eternity I caught fire, I caught fire I caught fire, and you'll watch me burn
