far away from here – ACT I : The Setup Lyrics by eleventwelfth
As the sun goes down
I plead for my life to be turned around
Watch me as I rise
Up to the velvet skies
Drift between the lines
As it passes by
Years prior, my reasons indulged me in vain
A desired ambition divulged in refrain
It backfired, delusion ignites me in pain since I took off
Should I just let it go?
No? Not again?
But I’m strapped here, seated on board
To retain the height you defined
So I’ll keep on speeding aloft
To the top of the azure
Once the zenith draweth me nigh
As the sun goes down
I plead for my life to be turned around
Watch me as I rise
Up to the velvet skies
Drift between the lines
As it passes by
Away from here
Far away from here
All the way from here
Then I’ll be fine, all while I’m still whole
I can’t wait for better days
(Can’t you see? You’re on your way)
May the clouds be in sight
(Shining with your own light)
Up and away
(Leaves you nowhere to stay)
Surging through a stable flight
(Fading into the night)
As the sun goes down
I plead for my life to be turned around
Watch me as I rise
Up to the velvet skies
Drift between the lines
As it passes by
As the sun goes down
I plead for my life to be turned around
Watch me as I rise
Up to the velvet skies
Drift between the lines
As it passes by
Away from here
(And feel your body more weightless as you fly by)
Far away from here
(Of all the things that you’ve had, let it all go)
Then I’ll be fine, all while I’m still whole
Away from here
Far away from here
All the way from here
Then I’ll be fine, all while I’m still whole
