Eidola - Querents

I talk to myself in my sleep
Lucid walk through the doorway
To watch her dance along the tapestries
Cascade dreams
But the man who dreamt the dreamer isn’t me

Manifest and create
Now everything I ever wanted lies behind the gate
Locked shut and glistening with gold
I've yet to find a path that isn't coal

I’ve been waking up just to see the sun glisten
For the hierophant and fall away
I’ve waited my whole life and given up my selfish hands
That built this all to hear you say you know my name

I give my mind to leave you with something
More than psalms and antiquated anecdotes
I give my body to the bedlam of this schema we call transition
To find the origin of our past transgressions

I’ve been waking up just to see the sun glisten
For the hierophant and fall away
I’ve waited my whole life and given up my selfish hands
That built this all to hear you say you know my name

There’s wisdom in the water
When you drink it from the grail
The magician's blessed with providence
But a fool can never fail
Your fate can be adjusted
If you have a soul to sell
But if the world is an illusion
Then the empress hides the veil

When elation takes it's toll on me
Libration allows my soul to plant a seed

I’ve been waking up just to help the chariot
Carve a way for every age who plays this game

This game I still choose to play
I’m not waiting my whole life for someone to save me
When I’ve already saved my self from the dark
I seek the light to find you again
