Always Been There Anyway {demo}

(Julia Massey)
pupils dilating and then
suddenly the outside disappears
i think you've found a new escape
standing on a circle,
looking out at what?
the mystery remains
the reasons do not correlate

you can't tell the difference
between laughing, crying
or anything at all
cause everybody looks the same
except the man who's walking with no obvious relation to the world
and you don't even know his name

cause it's a long way home
under city lights
and free-for-alls before you get alone
and the man you saw today
well you know he's still there
but he's always been there anyway

the sun is setting and the view
from that hotel rooftop was quite a sight:
one of the best you've ever seen
you got lost in the radiance
got swallowed up in beauty once again
your mind replays it in a dream

your brainwaves conjure up some pretty images
including one of you
dangling above a big black hole
what is it about time traveling that wakes you from your slumber in the night
and leaves your body feeling cold?

cause it's a long way home
under city lights
and free-for-alls before you get alone
and the man you saw today
well you know he's still there
but he's always been there anyway

pupils dilating and then
suddenly the outside disappears
i think you've found a new escape
you say the words that come to you regardless of their meaning
and you feel your heart of sadness
dissipate
cause it's a long way home
under city lights
and free-for-alls before you get alone
and the man you saw today
well you know he's still there
but he's always been there anyway
