you see me out here, day by day,
I'm looking for whomever cross my mind
I'm looking for a better, better way
day by day
I'd settle for a little more this time
I'm looking for some better, better pay
maybe a mask I'll never find
maybe the wasteland is the shrine
I'm coming up dirty, laughing, wise
you can on the other, other side
have you ever seen the other side?
ever kill to keep your dream alive?
have you ever died inside your womb?
have you met the one who carried you?
is the water deep, is the water full?
is the water deep, is it wonderful?
there's so much noise, confusing place
I'm picking my eyes up off the ground
I'm picking at the wires of the cage
confusing place
I'm walking my circles 'round the sun
I'm doing my time out of the shade
not easy to reach the other side
I'm pulling up dead weight mile
they tell me it's right outside my door
but I'm gluing my forehead to the floor
now, keep that head up
and keep that arrow straight
no one said it would be easy to face
no more golden sun, holy father
only rising roads and breaking waters
is the water deep, is the water full?
is the water deep, is it wonderful?
the dream is alive here,
have you seen her?
nightshade on the windowsill
and mold in the mirror
