Practicing the end before the start The way I'm crawling sideways You're better off if I depart Won't you dismiss me? Dismiss me I'm tired and applauded for an answer That's slipping ♪ Appearing as a statue While running through the trees One earth kept its balance But luckily there were more I could not see They were born of nothing Stay with me Stay with me You've let me in So graciously Secretive emotions the universe will keep Punishment or privilege It offers you an opening to peek This is the way This is the light Yet suddenly Becoming much too bright ♪ The treasure should never have been unearthed Reality twists and reveals its worth The clock is set forever in reverse My revelation's just a memory to nurse ♪ Free the eyes of the reverence within That well has dried Nothing I imagine can compare I'll be a passerby Do they ever see the final world That they create?
