[00:10.91] On stage breaking waves, first tread upon it quietly
[00:13.47] Never truly overcame the anxiety
[00:16.14] Fifteen years, stomach still unsettled
[00:18.77] Pilgrimage the homeland, the mecca, the temple
[00:21.53] God damn, leave you sentimental like slow jam
[00:24.10] Swan dive into the abyss you know, the old plan
[00:26.83] Never land, voices ring into infinity
[00:29.41] Echo from the hills to the desert to the seven seas
[00:32.13] Eternal sands moving through the hour glass
[00:34.14] Showering a burning man hoping that it counteracts
[00:36.79] Time running circles, chasing us around the map
[00:39.49] Unclaimed memories lost in all the browser tabs (how was that?)
[00:42.19] Broken dreams, yeah we grew them into bigger things
[00:45.42] Fires of hell that fed the sails, afloat even on broken wings
[00:48.47] Phoenix screams, you can't silence all the whiling
[00:50.71] A dragon in the path of no concern to all the wildings
[00:53.44] Can't succumb to the static, illusionist tactics

[01:17.60] Quick glance at the crowd try to focus my sight
[01:20.07] And my eyes locked with the back row
[01:22.56] Fire in my lungs, Saltwater in my throat
[01:24.74] So. Moments left to go, the rush before the show
[01:27.97] Control, this is where the rubber meets the road
[01:30.81] Fake it til we make it was the ever-modern tactic
[01:33.52] Finally we made it, but still faking out of habit
[01:36.13] Halfway through the track, the power's coming back
[01:38.73] Remember why you started almost stumble over that
[01:41.17] See somebody vibing, and it kinda does distract
[01:43.85] But you save it with the cadence and little bitty laugh
[01:46.70] Emeritus, dependent on adrenaline to carry us
[01:49.50] Embarked upon the journey where beginning steps are perilous
[01:52.13] Metabolized engagement building ego til nefarious
[01:54.74] Relief, a vicious cycle that repeats until they bury us
