lyrics

Up, up there on the dome
While, while the silver light takes form
You’re high, higher than you’ve ever been, no
High, higher than you’ve ever gone

A red desire
Does pull your tired
Legs further still
Begs the question
Do you know when you’ve had your fill?

You came to this place
To feel like your face
Is part of the sky
And melting away
Leaving nothing but
Your bones for the wind
To rattle and shake
Your brain in its cage, uh huh
In its cage, uh huh
Cage

An echo
Sonic mirror
Serves as
Affirmation that
You indeed, do reside
In your body
In your body

You came to this place
To feel like your face
Is part of the sky
And melting away
Leaving nothing but
Your bones for the wind
To rattle and shake
Your brain in its cage, uh huh
In its cage, uh huh
Cage
Cage
