歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Anthony Dekker
[00:25.10] It passes my eyes and stuns my senses
[00:30.67] The outside world flows through these fences
[00:35.73] They let out more than they take in
[00:40.61] They bleed me out and I can't staunch them
[00:46.53] My mouth lets out more than it takes in
[00:51.47] It leads me out and I can't help it
[00:57.50] It is nothing but a muscle flexed
[01:01.92] A swirling sea of now and next
[01:07.27]
[01:29.60] And the world was upside down, inside out
[01:33.13] This whole time
[01:35.19] Going the wrong way north was inverted
[01:40.71] The directions, the plan, got me turned around
[01:45.58] I was on the right path, but couldn't feel the ground
[01:53.25]
[02:20.54] And so started the test, retracing all the steps
[02:26.25] When was the first strike, which dances were learned
[02:30.91] In an ever-changing suit retailored with patches
[02:36.59] Or a life blind and careless, popping stitches
[02:41.87] Un-being, un-happening, becoming untangled
[02:47.40] Dulling the edges and scaling transitions
[02:52.91] Faith is a pattern composed by the wind
[02:57.72] All movement, one movement, it reaches everything
[03:03.41]
[03:14.76] And the real work is to be it it, believe it
[03:19.42] With each new set of eyes and the visions they provide
[03:25.81] Be the taste, the warmth, the measure and the glow
[03:31.01] By embracing it all, and then letting it all go
[03:36.59] The real work is never done, and has no clear beginning
[03:41.59] And shows no result, no losing, no winning
