Something about the look in your eyes
Tells me you're crashing from flying too high
It's the nothingness, it's the absence of weight
The lack of commitment I see on your face

Stuck in the middle deciphering this riddle
You watch as the answer just slips away
It's the emptiness, it's the absence of faith
A lifeline to get you out of this place

But all I see is light
Blinding light
Day blends into night
Just open your eyes

See how the oceans are sculpting the land
Time is a construct you can't understand
If you look away
And you choose to believe
That somehow this whole thing is about you and me

That there's someone to guide you
To soften your fall
While so many someones have no one at all
Though you feel awake
These are nothing but lies
That somebody fed you when you couldn't
You couldn't decide

Something about the tone of your voice
Gently reminds me behind all this noise
There's a solitude
And a need to belong
To make up for a time when you felt so alone

But can't you feel this light
This burning light
Deepening divides
Open wide
Fight or flight

Something is calling
Something is coming
Never too late to come through on the promise
To hold you close
And to carry you home
To shower your days with the glory you've known
That would pull you in
And cradle your mind
And once again feed you a serving of lies
It's the loneliness
It's the absence of faith
And somehow you ended up back in this place

Never whole
Mind control

Walk the line
Suffering hand in hand
Drink this wine
And join the Promised Home
of the Brave
And Land of the free
Follow these steps
Just between you and me
They won't get you there
They won't light up the dark
But maybe they'll keep you from falling apart

Something about the way that you smile
And how you've been carrying this weight for a while
It's the holiness, it's the prevalence of faith
Caught in between your desires and your fate

But darkness is coming
Full of demands
Blurring the lines between Monkey and Man
It's oblivion
It's the absence of grace
For so many years they've been lying to your face

But they took you in
And made you belong
I bet you the world they felt just as alone
It's a human trait
It's a weakness for faith
And somehow you've ended up back
Back in this place

The absence of faith
