lyrics

Almost imperceptibly
The end became the start
In the blink of an eye
Circling around once again
And again and again and again...

Never go home again
Where the river used to sing
It's never the same
Tugging away at the reigns
Up an empty mountain range

Sleeping in retrograde
We will dream a thousand years
Of what we have known
All in a sepia drone
Drawing the circle again…

Here in the garden
I have grown a thousand flowers
A lily for all I swept aside
All my dead potential lies
In the photographs of another

Lying in a state of circular logic is bliss
But it's time for the child to learn
And the lesson ain't easy
So tell me why I'm chasing my own tail

I'm sick to the teeth
Of railing against what's ahead
When I know damn well
The future could keep me in clover
It's over now the snake chokes on his tail

Rattling the bars of the cage you constructed
Looking for the key but it's there in your pocket
Unlock it
The prison's in your mind

I'll never believe I found you
Springtime's arrived
As love blooms in meadow
Feeling so young
Now that the circle's broken
I'm starting anew
I'm so in…

I grew from tiny acorns
Gathered in his hand
Given to the Earth
I was free to roam the land

Before you there was nothing
Without you there is nothing
A little like the nothing
Before you came around

And even now I'm climbing
My branches reach the sky
The snake is slowly dying
But with you I'm still alive

Before you there was nothing
Without you there is nothing
A little like the nothing
Before you came around
