lyrics

Run away dream
Run on high kicks
Stay light of burdens
That disprove flight

I'll drift on purpose
And I'll take a trip

Keep your eyes wild
Even when the view is clear
Hidden visions
They favour spinning heads

And I'll drift on purpose
And I'll take a trip
Set a destination for something more than indifference

Aboard a ship fronted by a figurehead
A false prow followers of an unfaithful steer
Leadership surrendered in an unwanted fight
Returning warships delight in sinking prospects
The whale it takes all in a match of hands on deck
Discarding on redraws like you've been dealt as good as it gets

A head in my hands
Free from the body that it used to command
Goodbye to old hosts
They say we need to be heard
Or become nothing more than sore sights for fading eyes
Long waves left behind
Shut it out
And let your imagination fill in blank mouths
Suddenly waves come short
Suddenly I don't feel like fighting gravity

I'm swinging back into orbit
And I'm getting back to where I belong
I left here when I was young
And I return like nothing has changed
I'm swinging back into orbit
And I'm getting back to where I belong
