Lyrics

Portal

In the throes of the ruby red river that flows
Through this darkening concrete, devouring ghosts
That float by
I'm with them

Up in the current and taken in whole
I've been struggling, strangling others in tow
Have my eyes gone missing?

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

Imagining sequences, playing back visions
But stereo air and fragmenting emissions
I've lost and found it
The loneliest thing in the shape of a fist
That I wish I could bring in this bitter abyss
Is my petrified heart, still pounding

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

Out on the balcony, reaching out to
Design this epiphany and what the sidewalks will do
Am I just
In the process, it's the means to the end.
It's the glass bottom vessel and depths that extend to
The spins between us

If I could, I'd cut through the cables and cords
But I'd never be able, my life's at the table with yours
Immortal

Nothing is sacred and nothing is sure anymore
Except all that you are and stand for got me toward
Your portal
Your portal
Your portal
Your portal

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

(Your portal)
Oh-oh-oh
(Your portal)
Oh-oh-oh
(Your portal)
Oh-oh-oh
(Your portal)
Oh-oh
