lyrics

Press tighter on the notch
Lift up behind the glass
That enters and exits
At times it’s slow
And others fast
------------
Hours pass and we fade
We’re floating on backs
Sometimes we’re flayed
Laid open and bare
And I am everywhere
------------
Every time we touch
The hours fade
And we pass
We’re floating on our backs
On our backs
------------
Everything old
Everything new
Everything I once knew
------------
With every touch
I see colors once faded
And stories once buried
Surface again
Deep royal tones
Flashes on the bone
Travels not scripted
Expanding into tomes
------------
Everything old
Everything new
Everything old
Everything new
Everything I once knew
------------
This changes everything
You are the key to me
I answer to no one
They’ll answer to me
To me
------------
With eyes closed
And no longer clothed
Pierce again the notch
And warm the entrance
To my existence
------------
We pass
Continue on
Cheated
Somehow still alone
You see me
Going far away from you
Dazed from weary sojourns
Pushing you slow
------------
Everything old
Everything new
Everything I once knew
It’s happening again
It’s happening again
Again
