Finally, I'm crossing the threshold From the ordinary world To the reveal of my heart Undoubtedly, that will for certain Take the dead out of the sea And the darkness from the arts This is my commitment (ah) My modern manifesto (ah) I'm doing it for all of us (ah) Who never got the chance For a handful And all my birds of paradise Who never got to fly at night 'Cause they were caught up in the dens Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind I want to get off but I keep riding the ride I never really notice that I had to decide To play someone's game or to live my own life and now I do I want to move Out of the black (out of the black) Into to the blue (into the blue) Finally Gone is the burden Of the crawling way of being That comes from energies combined Like my part was I Was not discerning And knew as we found out We're not in your right mind There's no more chasing rainbows (ah) And hoping for an end to them (ah) Their arches are illusions (ah) Solid at first glance But then you try to touch them There's nothing to hold on to The colors used to lure you in And put you in a trance (Yeah) Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind I want to get off but I keep riding the ride I never really notice that I had to decide To play someone's game or to live my own life and now I do I want to move Out of the black (out of the black) Into the blue (into the blue) Out of the black (out of the black) Into the blue (into the blue) Out of the black (out of the black) Into the blue (into the blue)
