Seeking pleasure from the past, think it's firmly in your grasp
Retrieve it slowly from the lead in your head
Flying blindly towards the sun, are you having any fun
Burning, burning like the coals in your bed
Is the thing you want to be something you can truly find?
Is the thing you need to see the very thing that knocks you blind?
The thing may finally close your mind
Returning memories to your dreams, unapproachable it seems
But you persist, parading on, forever gone
Swimming headlong through the waves hoping fiercely you'll be saved
But you've been drowning out your song all along
Is the thing you want to be something you can truly find?
Is the thing you need to see the very thing that knocks you blind?
The thing may finally close your mind
Seek and find, leave behind
Come and go, very slow, very slow
So suspiciously aware, every worry, every care
The endings of your nerves so keen to where you've been
And when you find the magic place, put a mask upon your face
So you don't recognize yourself in every seen
Is the thing you want to be, something you can truly find?
Is the thing you need to see, the very thing that knocks you blind?
The thing may finally close your mind
