Intro
Verse 1
I’m watching the stars from the safety of a cage I built alone
Counting the seeds of a legacy that’s carved in ancient stone
Tracing the line where the shadow and the light begin to blur
Holding my breath for a motion I’m certain will occur
Is it perfection or a ghost behind a cold façade?
Playing a part in the silence of a long-forgotten god
I built a fortress just to keep the heavy world from pushing in
Waiting for the moment where the end and start begin
Pre-Chorus
The sky is turning slowly 'round the center of my mind
Leaving all the wreckage of the truth so far behind
I’m reaching for the height…
To keep the dark inside…
Chorus
I’m drawing circles in the sky to keep the truth from leaking out
I’m living in the silence of a beautifully crafted doubt
We are the center of the world, the only soul that we can see
Just a prisoner of the patterns in this fake reality
REALITY!
Every breath we take’s a revolution in the dark
Trying to find the light inside a dying wooden spark
Verse 2
Epicycles turning in a cold mechanical dance
Leaving all the secrets of the universe to chance
Measuring the distance just to justify the why
Painting our own version of the truth across the sky
We are the anchor, the vanity, the fortress made of glass
Watching all the evidence of everything just pass
Locked inside the motion, trapped within a hollow frame
Calling out the silence by a different, borrowed name
Pre-Chorus
The sky is turning slowly 'round the center of my mind
Leaving all the wreckage of the truth so far behind
I’m reaching for the height…
To keep the dark inside!
Chorus
I’m drawing circles in the sky to keep the truth from leaking out
I’m living in the silence of a beautifully crafted doubt
We are the center of the world, the only soul that we can see
Just a prisoner of the patterns in this fake reality
REALITY!
Every breath we take’s a revolution in the dark
Trying to find the light inside a dying wooden spark
Bridge
Yeah! Clockwork gears — watch them turn!
A lesson in vanity we never learn!
You want the sun to bow? You want the stars to move?
Chasing a truth you could never prove!
(Spinning 'round… spinning 'round…)
CENTRIC! STATIC! The world stands still!
CENTRIC! STATIC! A triumph of the will!
IT’S A TRIUMPH OF THE WILL!
Final Chorus
I’m drawing circles in the sky to keep the truth from leaking out
I’m living in the silence of a beautifully crafted doubt
We are the center of the world, the only soul that we can see
Just a prisoner of the patterns in this fake reality
Post-Chorus
Everything is spinning 'round the anchor of our pride
There is nowhere left to run and nowhere left to hide
Everything is spinning 'round the anchor of our pride…
Outro
The only world we’ll ever know…
Everything is spinning 'round…
The center of it all…
