One must not get carried away
Gravity’s difference makes matters weigh
More on this Earth than they really seem
If only to be pulled from the fray (and)
Put behind the glass
Like some precious artifact
Concealing the flaws, the flaws that I have
Say what you will but leave out the names
I’ve been here before but I’m unafraid
To tell you of me both sad and plain
Lock down your world in a single phrase (and)
Press against the glass
Admiring an artifact
That you once had (but)
Never again will this begin or end with you
Try as I may I can’t get through
How can I get through?
Now a low lit closing sign
Exceedingly clean nothing left behind
Only aware of what is inside
Likes of which never caught my eye
Up against the glass
In awe of an artifact
That you once had
Never again will this begin or end with you
Try as I may I can’t get through
How can I get through?
This will take me a long time
Never again will this begin or end with you
Try as I may I can’t get through
How can I get through?
No matter how long it takes
Sit forever I can wait (x2)
