[Verse 1: Zach Quinn]

I am a higher order

Peer below, the symptom stayed

Beneath the threshold of the radar

Quietly growing, undisplayed


[Chorus: Zach Quinn]

Boiling, but never boiling over

With the grace of an unattended child


[Verse 2: Zach Quinn]

Along the flanks of great Mt. Ida

Finger painting crimson stills

Of domes constructed by the centaurs

Drawn like moths to light, weak-willed


[Chorus: Zach Quinn]

Boiling but never boiling over

I hear them giggling but I'm blind to the facade

Summit beckons, calling, condescending

I sigh with the force of the fists of a god


[Bridge: Zach Quinn]

Shame, shame


[Outro: Zach Quinn]

When the sun implodes

'Twil cauterize our bo-bos

Restored to ash

Breeze sweeps away our egos

Through time we'll gently drift

Scattered in this labyrinth

What we've held in our hands

Gone with us , eternally absent

Free!

Take me!
