Too many times, I put my faith into a dream
A dream that turned into a nightmare
Strip away everything that you've become
See what's left when the smoke clears
I met the Alchemist in the dredges of my mind
While he was studying the shadows
I couldn't tell if they were his thoughts or mine
Perhaps I'll never know
The Alchemist, he put his dreams into a flask
Composed a symphony of fire
He couldn't swallow all the things that he did ask
The flames grew out of hand and skyward
You know I would love to set you free
But I can't take no more tragedy
Take your sorrow and let me be
I've got to fly away from here
Fly so far from here
