This that I am
Moving towards the world
This that I am
Taking on time
Moving off into the distance
To get closer again
Moving down the line
To start only once again
Take me to the walled city
To define the limits more clearly
Take to the walled city
This that I am
Taking time on
Possessed by ideas
I am no more a thinker than prisoner of dreams
A plague of enlightenment is no great gain
Inchained to my own creation
Order and chaos have stained my name
Order and chaos make a daily stake
Possessed by ideas
Now I take on time
Everything here matters
Everything matters
It’s all in a frame
Stay just this way
Nothing should change
Forever we’re standing inside frames
To transcend the world of things
Stay stay just this way
We see untruly from inside frames
Everything here matters
Name the the thing
I dreamed of a prison
Everything I ever wanted
Looking out
With no way back in
I watched the elevator rise and fall
Where the hills should-
I watch the walls
Where the skies would-
I thought I was brave
That I wasn’t afraid
Have I missed my call
Are we late?
At the deafening dawn of the break of chains
Outside the limelight
This that I am
Moving towards the world
This that I am
Taking on time
Moving off into the distance
To get closer again
Moving down the line
To start only once again
Take me to the walled city
To define the limits more clearly
Take to the walled city
This that I am
