or, ‘An Entire History of You’

lyrics

Movement I: Aim For Sunrise

(Instrumental)

Movement II: Manifest

In dreams
I can hold you
I can pull you

In threads
In my foresight
Where we both lie in waves
I am living in my mind’s eye

Woken by a feeling
Interrogating me
Dying just to see you
But I know you’re not real

Sometimes I feel the pulling of the tide
Red lines circle all around my work
I know this will kill me in the end

Now every time I see you
I remember you’re not real
I’m walking towards feeling
While walking out to sea

I’ll change
I will come through
You will see

But it seems
The more I tell you
The less you see me
And still this dream’s
All that’s keeping me from breaking

Trapped inside a cycle
I cannot break alone
Finding only something
In a false world that I can’t return from

Movement III: Reveries for Dawn

Pocketed world in my head
Where the girl of my dreams is waiting
Escaping all hurt
I’m intact
In these reveries for dawn
I am staying

Now outside the window
Impermanence smiles
Hoping for time, don’t worry
You’ll find a way to return to the lie

Hours spent at night holding on to your threads
With the entire history of you mapped up inside my head
Give me some time and I’ll lose my mind
Give me a chance and I’ll lose you

Movement IV: Death, and Beyond the Dream

(Instrumental)
