lyrics

Enthralled by the longing of the soul
The built-in want for more gilds desires in gold
And towards these bejeweled apparitions, we step, reach, and grasp
Squinting at the sparkle, unintentionally filtering out depth

Through the light-distorting waves of dancing willow leaves
I saw a goddess sitting at the shore of the lagoon waiting for me
I dove right through her image into the water's cold wake
And it was the longest swim back I hope to ever take

A pounce at the thrill may take you on a tumble down the hill
A whisp-chasing romp may get you lost in the swamp
Dark will fall and you will find not all can be seen by sight
Don't follow the phantasms, learn to recognize em

A glimpse of a great oasis may lead you further into desolate sands
Don't follow the phantasms, or prepare yourself for journey in unfamiliar lands
