Parallels - Sleeping At Last

I'm at the edge of the earth (the earth) Oh God, I'm falling in (I am falling) Into this parallel dimension And I won't be coming home I am but a man navigating through the wonders of life To prevail is my only plan Giving up your soul is the only price Locked and loaded, the blood runs warm We're not afraid of the future's storm And as the sky overhead begins to tear apart We'll face it here just like we wanted from the start In this universe, this unknown land I'm lost in here until someone takes my hand And I can't explain how time and space Will not cease to fail me once again (I'm not coming home) Welcome to the end of all that you know This world splits in two and I'm dragged below You just can't help me and it's too late I've tossed and I've turned but there's no escape The vortex connecting will dissipate Trapped in a parallel universe Where all that's left is this wretched curse Locked away for a thousand years So hold your breath and confront your fears In this universe, this unknown land I'm lost in here until someone takes my hand And I can't explain how time and space Will not cease to fail me once again (I'm not coming home) Locked away for a thousand years So hold your breath and confront your fears Confront your fears

Don't I make you feel alive? Don't I give you a good home? In a way I know you're always by my side But today I think I've always been a long way One hand to keep you warm One hand to hold my chin To be inside your arms It's all I'm asking Caterpillar on the floor Can you teach me to transform? And I'll step right in an cocoon 'til I'm born And I can't say that I'll miss my human form much One hand to keep you warm One hand to hold my chin To be inside your arms It's all I'm asking I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all parallels, I see all parallels I see all

Maybe I've done enough And your golden child grew up Maybe this trophy isn't real love And with or without it, I'm good enough Maybe I've done enough Finally catching up For the first time I see an image of my brokenness Utterly worthy of love Maybe I've done enough And I finally see myself Through the eyes of no one else It's so exhausting on this silver screen Where I play the role of anyone but me And I finally see myself Unabridged and overwhelmed A mess of a story I'm ashamed to tell But I'm slowly learning how to break this spell And I finally see myself Now I only want what's real To let my heart feel what it feels Gold, silver or bronze hold no value here Where work and rest are equally revered I only want what's real I set aside the highlight reel And leave my greatest failures on display with an asterisk Worthy of love anyway
