lyrics

How do you see us?
Are we real?
Just made up?

These tubes surround you
The air that you breathe through
They say you’re lost somewhere
A place inside your head

But your light
Through the blackest hole
Shines like a burning star
Shooting through the sky
You and I
You take me to my core

This space, it’s freedom
No tubes, just heal

A star ocean glowing green
Supernovas shooting force fields

They say you’re lost somewhere
A place inside your head

But your light
Through the blackest hole
Shines like a burning star
Shooting through the sky
You and I
You take me to my core,

Do you ever ask why?
Do you even believe?
I wouldn’t
No I couldn’t
You can feel
And that’s real
You’re real

Through this nonsense.
All my problems
All my regrets
They’re childish
They’ll never take
The world you live in
You know you’d go away

Through the blackest hole
You Shine like a burning star
Shooting through the sky
You and I
You take me to the core
