[Verse 1: Andrew Wells]
I talk to myself in my sleep
Lucid walk through the doorway to watch her dance along the tapestries
Cascade dreams
But the man who dreamt the dreamer isn't me
Manifest and create
Now, everything I ever wanted lies behind the gate
Locked shut and glistening with gold
I've yet to find a path that isn't coal

[Chorus: Andrew Wells]
'Cause I've been waking up just to see the sun glisten (Just to see the sun)
For the hierophant and fall away
I've waited my whole life and given up my selfish hands (My selfish hands)
That built this all, to hear you say you know my name

[Verse 2: Andrew Wells]
I give my mind to leave you with something more
More than psalms and antiquated anecdotes (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I give my body to the bedlam of this schema we call transition
To find the origin of our past transgressions

[Chorus: Andrew Wells]
'Cause I've been waking up just to see the sun glisten (Just to see the sun)
For the hierophant and fall away
I've waited my whole life and given up my selfish hands (My selfish hands)
That built this all, to hear you say you know my name
[Bridge: Andrew Wells]
There's wisdom in the water when you drink it from the grail
The magician's blessed with providence
No, a fool can never fail
Your fate can be adjusted if you have a soul to sell
If the world is an illusion, then the empress hides the veil
When elation takes its toll on me
Liberation allows my soul to plant a seed

[Chorus: Andrew Wells]
I've been waking up just to help the chariot (Chariot)
Carve a way for every age who plays this game

[Outro: Andrew Wells]
This game I still choose to play, -ay
But I'm not waiting my whole life for someone to save me
When I've already saved my self from the dark
I seek the light to find you again
