from your violet room i see your shadow   from your violet sky i close my eyes   somewhere along the line i beat the devil   we were caught up in a ring of our own disguises   so i run faster than i thought   and there you call our for me      will wonders never cease to amaze me?   the way i collide with what you need   i pulled you too close   i must learn to let you go   and find my way back to the land of dreams      from the aging dawn there comes a shadow   and from the yellow sand i see my life   parading around through darkened windows   i was caught up in a ring of my own disguises   so i ran further than i thought   and you can't find me      this is where we contemplate, pontificate existing further   out into the corners of the room where we're kept hidden   this is where i speculate, articulate   that i am drifting up, slowly up, slowly up
