Lyrics

Verse 1

Back then, the doors to the other worlds were open,
But, after the crash the lost artist's brain was broken,
Obsessed with questions, he kept on asking,
Why his soul couldn't just live in one world,
He wanted freedom from the burden of creation,
He couldn't abandon the gift the heavens granted,
Surely, all he needed was a compass,
But, his gift tore him apart with too many visions,
Festivals in lands of unknowable distance
Felt like a pen stroke away from existing,

Verse 2

He turned to painting to see it,
But, soon heard the calling of music,
Oh, what do I do, he thought, now that his future kept changing,
Breaking away from the path that he'd already chosen,
Carried away by the winds which he had always trusted,
There's no turning back now, my past has already been written,

Bridge

A bridge to all places leads to nowhere,
Within each word is hope and despair,
Blunders of the soul will destroy your home beyond repair,
The best answers come to those who just don't care,

Verse 3

Closing his eyes, the lost artist takes in the morning sun,
And, let's go of all that once was,
He gets to work on a new song thinkin', let's re-envision it all,

Verse 4

The worlds inside me still reside inside my heart,
There's so many ways to give them life in this world,
When one world dies, another's born in its place,
Life and death are intertwined,
My dreams have taken me to so many worlds,
That I'd still cling to even when awake,
But, never mind my past selves of this world or those other ones,
This is my world, I can't be kept prisoner by nostalgic dreams,

Outro

Somehow, I'll trust the wind again, like a bird who's always flying free,
A bird who's always flying free!
