lyrics

I came to watch the lights in the tunnel
Expand upon the world I know
I meant to watch the world spin around but
I got lost in the show

All the pretty lies I've encountered
Seem to consent to control
String along the best and the worst and
Present illusory glow

Many ages passed since I've been here
Making my way through the cold
Following a trail of the dead and
Taking what I can as I go
I've planted every seed I've collected
Way down deep in my soul
Maybe one day the ice will melt and
Something will grow

How many ages passed since I've been here
Making my way through the cold
Following a trail of the dead and
Learning what I can as I go
I've planted every seed I've collected
Way down deep in my snow
One day the ice will melt and
Something will grow

The darker days just seem to get longer
The light has started to slow
And all the other trapped in their places
Seem to be losing their glow

I came to watch the lights in the tunnel
Explain away the world I know
The space behind me slowly collapsing
There is no way to get home.

Many ages passed since I've been here
Making my way through the cold
Following a trail of the dead and
Taking what I can as I go
I've planted every seed I've collected
Way down deep in my soul
Maybe one day the ice will melt and
Something will grow

How many ages passed since I've been here
Making my way through the cold
Following a trail of the dead and
Learning what I can as I go
I've planted every seed I've collected
Way down deep in my snow
One day the ice will melt and
Something will grow
