OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE

Starset

Ten feet tall behind your wall
Telling yourself that you're not small
Roll yourself into a tight ball
You can't be lost if you've gone AWOL

You've never had one question
So comfortable living life so certain
Let me tell you about this then
No one really knows the truth
No not you

There are monsters in the sky
There are demons in the sea
I have seen them with my eyes
I've seen what you won't see
Pull the wool out from your eyes
It won't change your frail belief
In the end we cannot hide
There are other worlds than these

Closed up minds are hearty seeds
So plant yourself a gallows tree
Bury your heads so you won't see
The truth you hide is the truth you seek

Feed it fiction and lies
Oh how it grows, the roots are all shallow
Hide yourself up inside
And on it goes, reaping from the cell you sowd

Is it all an oddity?
Are we flakes of empty dust
Spinning on a ball of rust?
Maybe
But the light is ours to see
You had eyes but sowed them shut
But that feeling in your gut won't fade
Is it all a tragedy?
Are we flashes in a rut
Going in and out of luck?
Maybe
But the answers will not change
Even when they're covered up
All these questions in your gut won't fade
