I've been treading water Tracing fire across the sky Killing all the daylight In your un-dreaming eyes Would you hear a melody If it didn't rhyme? Could you feel a rhythm Seal your place in time? For centuries we've squandered Everything that's sacred These centuries we've stuttered To replicate the frequency Frequency The frequency I was born to remain You were born to resist All the lies you maintain All the cues that I missed We were the invulnerable everything with nothing left to feel As you and I divide, we'll compromise and learn to know what's real Your wanderlust Never carried us Nor satisfied the need to be saved Your highness Never pardoned us Now we wait in squalor as saints I am the tyrant You are the defeated I am the ocean You are the depleted I am the beggar You are the wealthy I am proud You are the one who made me Don't let go My arms are full and my burden heavy I need to know That all of this is more than temporary We were the invulnerable everything with nothing left to feel As you and I divide, we'll compromise and learn to know what's real We'll never know what's real We'll never know what's real
