Then approached

The weary passenger

I hail from the Northern Corner

Treading lightly on the border

Of the former

Long lost citadel

I'm not your enemy

I'm just a wanderer

I expect to decline your offer

The old tongues

The fallen heritage

Wound up on the floor

We all have ghosts to reckon with now

Forever sheltered under dark clouds

Time's been swallowed whole

Brain's melting like an ice cap pole

Need a chemical to right my soul

He drew a breath

He drew a map

He drew the face of a nation gone paralyzed

All the roads bled together on the canvas

All land a distant shore

He lit a fire

He told a prophecy

A spirit rose from the burning ashes

Was it a dream or a wide eyed memory

A vision of an open door

We all have dreams to reckon with now

A memory of nothing somehow

We all agree to suffer in hell

Time's been swallowed whole

Brain's melting like an ice cap pole

Need a chemical to right my soul

Time's been swallowed whole

Brain's melting like an ice cap pole

Need a chemical to right my soul

'It's an adventure man! It's always been an adventure!`

Fever dreams of fever dreams

Future states and fantasies

Shelve these thoughts bury them deep

Pray I fall asleep

`I've been swallowed whole

Brain's melting like an ice cap pole`

Like an ice cap pole

Need a chemical to right my soul

Such a heavy load

Skull's cracking as my brain explodes

Need a chemical to right my soul
