Lyrics
Do we belong here? /
To see is not to know /
(do we know we know we know?)
If we evolved here... /
would we have room to grow? /
(do we know we know?...we know)
I know how to be alone /
thats why you never see me on the phone,
thats why you never see me out to roam,
i'm on a mission, this is why I'm always headed home /
Let go of reasons that question my Purpose - [I'm devoted]
Lessons on being selfish prove im selfless - [Pain is Glory]
[he is I], I am Me /
I follow the Oath:
"With opportunities,
your dreams follow" /
I'm not sorry I dealt the hand to fold
I wont - tell you to trust me /
[but] We need - to Open Up /
[no] I wont - try to drive you crazy
so can we - just open up /
I never check the time to make the time for it /
[so] can we, just open up /
[Keytar Solo]
Stuck to the plan with this /
My mind is wealthy,
im not just a conscious alchemist /
You might say Im blasphemous /
I created a way a life with all my gifts... /
("wait..I created a life with all my gifts, we have more than what we look for...")
I don't - need you to trust me /
But we need - to open up /
I won't - try to drive you crazy /
can we - just open up /
I've taken all this time to make the time for it /
[so] can we - just open up? /
Can we open up.
