I've been living like a ghost inside myself upon a shelf
On a distant planet, a crooked house that never sleeps
And this river that unwinds within my spine records the time
A thousand ripples racing from a pebble's fall
While a lone coyote walks upon a highway running south
Drifting up into my mouth, a silent hemisphere
And in the quiet of my mind I find a stairway leading up
With amber lights that flicker like a sleeping storm whose form will remain
And I'm lost up forty flights of stairs with everyone in the world who cares
Searching for a sign upon the galaxy
See me sitting with the one I love in the planetarium
Silent, still and spacious as the axis turns, you learn to let go
I've been drifting like a ghost through the memories I love most
Like a grifter trading tarnished coin for future days
But with each death I'm reborn only to fall upon the thorn
And join the dance of light and energy that never fades or falls away
And I'm lost up forty flights of stairs with everyone in the world who cares
Searching for a sign upon the galaxy
See me sitting with the one I love in the planetarium
Silent, still and spacious as the axis turns, you learn to let go
