Elixir of Life Lyrics

The wooden floor under me gently touches my soles

I get lost in an old man's faded eyes

I'm so far away from home

A ray of sunlight breaks through a crack in the rundown wall

It points directly to his forehead

What brings you here my friend?

Is it you who you are looking for?

I say I suffer in this world

I need help

I need to settle down

Be me, not that

I stare at the dust dancing in the rays of the sun

While I'm waiting for an answer

I tried so many times

To steal the elixir of life

And I ran away

Until I couldn't breathe

I'm running out of time

I tried so many times

To steal the elixir of life

And ran away

Until I couldn't breathe

But as I look down

My hands have always been empty

The old mans eyes

Start shining

The room is lighting up

My body is rising

I'm floating four inches above that ground

And I feel absolutely nothing

Suddenly the room goes dark

And I'm falling

I look up and where the old man was

Now there is a broken statue of myself

The beam is still breaking through the wall

And it is clarifying my soul

Go steal the elixir of life

I tried so many times

To steal the elixir of life

And I ran away

Until I couldn't breathe

I'm running out of time

I tried so many times

To steal the elixir of life

And ran away

But as I seek outside

I left myself behind
