lyrics

I hope you find what you’re looking for

I hope you find what you’re looking for. 

I’ll help you if I can with my piece of the map—here’s my piece of the map. 

Love your imperfect heart.

We’re all part of this.

Strike your match in the dark.

Our calling is bliss. 

I hope you find what you’re looking for,I hope you find what you’re looking for. I’ll help you if I can,with my piece of the map—here’s my piece of the map. 

Visual patterns confirm 

we’re all part of this.

Unfolding fractal ferns 

expanding in bliss. 

I hope you find what you’re looking for,

I hope you find what you’re looking for. 

I’ll help you if I can,with my piece of the map—here’s my piece of the map.

We are the dreamers

reaching for the stars,

solitary wanderers,

wondering who we are.

How do we know

which way to go & why?

Seekers of truth,

keepers of meaning:

Heart as compass,

heart as compass,

compass.

The quest gets lonely,

but we are not alone.

Fellow travelers walk with us,

the journey is our home.

That’s how we know

which way to go and why.

Seekers of truth,

keepers of meaning:

Heart as compass,

heart as compass,

compass.

I still recall

before the fall,

when we were stars,

expanding & changing.

I still miss home,

a home I’ve never known.

Memories or dreams

wash up on the shore

of psyche, fragments

from before,

when we were stars,

expanding & changing.

When we were stars,

expanding & changing.

I still recall

before the fall,

when we were stars,

expanding & changing.

I still miss home,

a home I’ve never known.

Memories or dreams

wash up on the shore

of psyche, fragments

from before,

when we were stars,

expanding & changing.

When we were stars,

expanding & changing.

We were young & innocent.

Did not believe in accidents.

Had all the answers,

our eyes were clear,

yet unclouded by all those fears.

We were unclouded by all those fears

All this pressure on the soul.

Friendship lost,

a lesson learned.

The heart gets gun-shy

when it’s been burned.

We look for others to fill the hole

left by our mothers’ and fathers’ hold.

All this pressure on the soul

makes a diamond out of coal.

And time heals only the wounds you feel.

Time heals only the wounds you feel.

Only the wounds you feel.

All this pressure on the soul

makes a diamond out of coal.

Makes a diamond out of coal.

Makes a diamond out of coal.

And time heals only the wounds you feel.

Time heals only the wounds you feel.

Only the wounds you feel.

Stockpiling weapons of the heart,

it’s an art

she learned long ago.

Mother taught her everything she knows.

Darts from the arrow of your darkness,

remember this.

Remember how it feels to be so real.

The city lights below me

act as if they know me,

winking like they got a secret

& I’m gonna like it.

Glow in the dark. Dancing with the spirits,

you’re getting so near it.

Stockpiling weapons of the heart,

dark art

we learned long ago.

The kings, they taught us everything we know.

Cog inside a clock, the tick & tock,

don’t run but walk,

how to cloak in smoke & never show

the way we

glow in the dark. Dancing with the spirits,

you’re getting so near it. 

It’s like the ghost inside you 

found its wings.

You’re so close to knowing many things.

Pressed against the moment, now confess

there’s something in your very chest

that breathes & sings.

The city lights below you

act as if they know you,

winking like they got a secret,

& you’re gonna like it.

Dancing with the spirits,

you’re getting so near it.

I don’t care what they say, 

they shame.

Their way or the highway, 

why stay?

I’ll find my way, 

fly away.

You glance sideways, 

a shade of gray. 

Oh, I know the road gets dark sometimes,but you are a light, so you will be alright.Those tears will feed the seeds we’ll need in the new frontier. 

You hunt hearts in the dark,

looking for a spark.

Heat-seeking missile 

this will 

almost fill 

the hole inside, 

the one you hide. 

Oh, I know the road gets dark sometimes,but you are a light, so you will be alright.

Those tears will feed the seeds we’ll need in the new frontier.  

We’ve been here all along,

waiting to arrive,

looking to others to

make us feel alive.

Like beggars we hold

like hands in a bowl,

while we sit on a box filled with gold.

Desire is a hungry ghost,

another jealous god wearing love’s cloak,

all smoke & light.

We’ve been told how to feel,

what makes something real,

looking like we’re alive,

an imitation of life.

Desire is a hungry ghost,

another jealous god wearing love’s cloak,

all smoke & light.

This chrysalis

was my home

till the kiss

of curiosity awakened me.

Now the unknown

is calling, and I’m afraid,

but I won’t let it stop me.

Oh, oh, oh, my heart

is like a hot sun.

Oh, oh, oh my heart,

it can warm everyone.

I came undone.

You looked at me

like a deer at a shotgun,

an animal about to run.

I tried to say, stay,

didn’t mean it that way.

But all the words you heard

just turned to birds that flew away.

Oh, oh, oh my heart,

like a shot in the dark.

Oh, oh, oh my heart,

broken open like a geode rock.

This flesh & bone

is on loan

for a while till the stars

that we are

call me home.

But till that time, it’s all mine

to do what I will and to seek my thrills.

Oh, oh, oh my heart

can be a foolish thing.

But oh how it can sing.

I tried to see

how they built the walls around me,

through the smokescreen,

through the black & white surroundings

to the rainbow world.

Cuz it’s a false dichotomy

and it’s a forced binary.

Like a sleepwalker,

I shake myself awake,

eyes wide open,

shake myself awake.

You saw through

how they built the world around you

and made up the rules,

stole your soul & sold it back to you.

Forget what they told you.

Cuz it’s a false dichotomy

and it’s a forced binary.

Like a sleepwalker,

I shake myself awake,

eyes wide open,

shake myself awake.

Take off that mask

and set it down,

you don’t need it anymore.

Lay down your armor, it’s heavy.

You must be tired from the strain.

Just let the thought that you’re not good enough go.

Fear tells the same lie to everyone.

Don’t block yourself out,

don’t hide the sun.

Take off those rags,

they don’t suit you.

You don’t need to hide your light.

Exchange your chains for a crown,

you’re done learning through pain.

Just let the thought that you’re not good enough go.

Fear tells the same lie to everyone.

Don’t block yourself out,

don’t hide the sun.

Don’t block yourself out,

don’t hide the sun.
