When I returned to where I once belonged, my father's name and all I'd known was gone. So I set off to find my kin, hidden somewhere in the land of living.
I'm a specter with a light suntan. I was ghouling up these haunts before you were born. I kinda think it's funny that you can see through me- I see through you.
So I returned to my old family home. I found it changed, unrecognizable, but still I swore I would remain to inherit my claim to the life I had given up.
I'm a specter with a light suntan. I was ghouling up these haunts before you were born. I kinda think it's funny that you can see through me- I see through you.
Wait, I can't stay one more day. Please believe me when I say I know I don't belong. Wait, I won't stay one more day. I will return to the fade. You'll forget. I'll be gone.

I put my head on one ear at a time,
an ill-fitting thing on so crooked a spine,
a neurotic mess without reason or rhyme.
I always forget what I did with my mind.
I know it's absurd, but I think I like it.
The only one in the world, so why try and fight it?
Because outside there's a big world,
it's gonna swallow me whole.
This small town life took a big city toll.
Who was I to think I was in control?

I like to do the things I don't in quiet rooms when I'm alone.
The devil I know knows the devil I don't and on and on.
I like to speak without a sound when no one else is around.
The instructions have been found and so I will
do what they say.
I must obey.
The higher powers stole my soul.
I just do what I'm told.
I like to do the things I can't, things that I don't understand.
I am inspiration sans a willing muse.
This is not the old romance. If I ever got the chance
I would offer up my hands to you and god.
There is no way,
I must obey.
The higher powers stole my soul.
I just do what I'm told.
I could never be content following the edicts sent down from above.
So why do I consent to my free will's imprisonment? Is it because
there is no way.
I must obey.
The higher powers stole my soul.
I just do what I'm told.

I remember when I was young, I feared the thing that I'd become
so I shed my skin to start again.
Even though I was reborn I was discontent with my human form
so I shed my skin to reveal what I hid within.
It's been years, but I recall the fallacy inherent in it all
when I shed my skin thinking I would be different.
The time has come. I wish I'd stay the way I was before I changed.
Still I shed my skin and start again.
Samsara Way.
There's no escape from Samsara Way.
I will never be convinced the life I'm living is all there is.
I will never be convinced.
I will never stop.

We were like a plane crashing into the sun:
bright for just a moment then over and done.
I must admit I forgot to avert my eyes.
But then again, it's not like it's my first time.
I don't really mind.
I will carry on straight into the sun searching for answers I will never find.
Everything just happened so fast.
Then I was standing alone in the aftermath.
I stepped from the wreckage into the unknown.
I now know that home's just a place you call home.
That is, until you don't.
I will carry on straight into the sun searching for answers I will never find.
