The Fountain Lyrics

We're lines of life that intersect

Waiting 'till the dots connect

Hoping it will all make sense

Searching for a balance

He's on the journey for enlightenment

Freedom bought with time and sweat

But every time he built a nest

The wilderness devoured it

So, back to the same routine

Mornings jacked with caffeine

Lack of sleep and nicotine

A million things to cloud him

He realized this wasn't right

Breathing air but not alive

So in the glow of a thousand lights

He swore he'd find the fountain

(And he said)

Take me father

I'm trying to sail, far away, far away

This ain't stress, I feel things I can't express

Things that I'm afraid if I confessed, you'd love me less

So love me till there's nothing left but nothingness

Man, what's wrong?

It's nothing, it's - it's confidence, it's lots of things

Man, I don't know, I just have thoughts of things

Mental blocks, breakdowns and toxic dreams

Promises and prophesies of escapades to better days

But I'm living in yesterday, still afraid of what's to come

Of how I'm known, who I am, and what I've done

But what I'd give to be left alone and left to grow

No pressure, no metronome

No never, no forever

A center beyond my flesh and bones and mind

What would I find behind the veil?

Would I be strong, or would I run?

And if I did where would I go, where would I sail?

Freedom waits for those who try

To venture to the other side

Travel far, find your tribe

Shed your fear, become, arise

Recognize although we die

And worlds collide, we're still alive

From early rise to misty night

The greatest gift is life
