We don't know what time it is it doesn't matter where we are all the same it's been magical so far Warming to the sentiment of the bonfire haze and the charcoal scent of marshmallows ablaze The formula of our chemistry atmospheric infusion Shimmering fairy lights in the trees firefly illusions This here and now an unspoken vow that we won't forget what life's about The bonds that we're forging, it's pure alchemy Sipping on sweet sangria I wash down the bitterness the empty half of my glass wanes with every splash Where did we hide our shoes tonight? I can't recall a thing but this nonchalance is worth remembering The formula of our chemistry atmospheric infusion Shimmering fairy lights in the trees firefly illusions This here and now an unspoken vow that we won't forget what life's about The bonds that we're forging, it's pure alchemy The formula of our chemistry atmospheric infusion Shimmering fairy lights in the trees firefly illusions This here and now an unspoken vow that we won't forget what life's about The bonds that we're forging, it's pure alchemy

Lately I've been haunted by this being but I'm not sure with who I'm dealing there's a voice that whispers without breathing volatile – one moment here and then it's gone Frequently I'm taunted by this demon psyching me, it's so demeaning Sinking low whenever it's revealing merciless, yet another flaw of me What frightens me the most: there is no ghost that can be banished I suspect that I am both the spectre and the spooked All too well aquainted with this feeling this character's so unappealing how I've tried to temper it with reason dispiriting, my best is still not good enough It terrifies me so to know there is no ghost to vanish now I see that I am both the spectre and the spooked What frightens me the most: there is no ghost that can be banished now I see that I am both the spectre and the spooked but who is in control of them two?

Hiding in transparent shelters fashioned for the purpose to be seen We are sending out a message but the essence is confined by a machine Eye to eye we are not alone Heart to heart followed by unknown One on one we don't seem to mind Our affairs are not our own Quantify your style and values making sure that every effort counts Document all your endeavors find significance in meaningful amounts Eye to eye we are not alone Heart to heart followed by unknown One on one we don't seem to mind Our affairs are not our own Eye to eye we are not alone Heart to heart followed by unknown One on one we don't seem to mind... Stripped of the empty excess we are wireless Reach me without interference There is a distance unless we are wireless Show me what ones and zeros cannot express Eye to eye we are not alone Heart to heart followed by unknown One on one we don't seem to mind Our affairs are not our own Eye to eye we are not alone Heart to heart followed by unknown One on one we don't seem to mind... Stripped of the empty excess we are wireless Reach me without interference There is a distance unless we are wireless Show me what ones and zeros cannot express

Honestly, I'm no nihilist, seeing as there is no point what's the use of really anything in life to dwell on this issue seems like a hopeless excercise Thankfully, I'm quite naive I don't have issues like you do I soak up all the lies, the far-fetched alibis but you tempt me to compromise In debate we're both the devil's advocate whatever we contend eventually we blend Actually, I'm no activist, I can't be bothered anymore For every step ahead we're taking two steps back our achievements will be reset Do we agree on duality or do our visions collide? Today you are wrong tomorrow you'll be right In debate we're both the devil's advocate whatever we contend eventually we blend

Eventide is setting in as I traverse into nomansland I dissolve in air paper-thin solitude is calling me so here I am, untethered Some kind of free exile every once a while when I'm out of words to say I'll silently be on my way Anyplace remote excuse me from biscuits and porcelain and arid monologue These country miles no-one's coming close as far as freedom goes Flaming sky turns indigo cloaking me in color blend camouflage Sheltering in the afterglow now you see me, now you don't I'm a mirage, elusive Some kind of free exile every once a while when I'm out of words to say I'll silently be on my way Anyplace remote excuse me from biscuits and porcelain, and arid monologue These country miles no-one's coming close as far as freedom goes
