I lick my teeth
But they’re not there
I fall beneath the unaware
I look at my hands
Like I was told
And all the color flushed from the world
And I was floating not high above
I picked my feet up and I was off
Out through the window out to the world
In search of no one and nothing at all

No one was out there they were all gone I was alone
All alone the only hero I’ve ever known

Inside a worm hole that’s dead and cold
On pins and needles
Rob me of my slumber
Tear me from asunder
On pins and needles
Make me not believe it
Or everyone will see it

Lost inside my home
In the forest that I know
When all the vision is washed away
All the stones can grow
Somewhere in the back yard
A ladder to the stars
Carries me high

Sliding through my open doors
And where I land is silence
My breath is invisible
And in the coldest moments
My eyes twitch and bring me back
To pins and needles

Rob me of my slumber
And tear me asunder
On pins and needles
Make me not believe it
When everyone can see it
Welcomes and wishes don’t do the dishes
A flare is a snare from the coffee pots dare
You live in a suit of aluminum foil

A gaslight of salt from the tales of your toil
I’ve whispered and waited but played like I’m dumb
Dumbfounded and crowded with egos
And needs
And giving myself to myself

I let go
And then all the more invisible I will grow
Until one day I phase out
Nothing is left
The trail of mortal is all but a theft
When I've filled every once
And drank every shot
And stole every note
And planned every plot
And beat every foe
Everything I’m not
Then I’ll look at myself one last time

For the truth
I’ll remember the hands of my dream from my youth
And I’ll stand by the doorway to heaven and hell
And call for the angles to whisper and swell
Then up from the canyons and cannon ball smiles
And down with the tears and the crocodile bile
We are the meaning
The travelers too
The only one inside of your head is you
