I woke up and forgot the myths
That bind our past to this
That lead us blindly
To circle in slow motion
Time is my decaying note
Once sung, once left your throat
No other offering
Worth more than this gift
One foot behind the other, never looking back
Echoes on a sonogram
Smarter than we hope we think
Bring bodies close to the brink
Wear different costumes
Tell the same old stories
Helpless in the wake of time
Vaulting from earth to sky
We're cells and water
Like every living thing
One foot behind the other, never looking back
Echoes on a sonogram
I woke up and forgot the myths
That bind our past to this
That lead us blindly
To circle in slow motion
