Beyond The Thorns Lyrics

Every word is a surprise

For it's never what I had in mind

So much room for errors with 26 letters

The translation lost every time

But I can't comprehend

The abyss above my head

For what lies beyond that phaneron?

Oblivious to oblivion

Two for the price of one

To this three ring circus

Watched the four horsemen with all five senses

Now I'm all sixes and sevens

And nothing's black and white

Green with envy in the blue moon light

So I cut the red tape to let my silver tongue taste

An orange sunset and yellow sunrise

And there's no need for directions when you're going off the rails

So remember when life washes you ashore and you're just trying to survive

That the sweetest fruit lies beyond the thorns, to suffer is to be alive

Wandering the wilderness

Where no path is certain

Our moral compass revolves like a disco ball

I get lost in the lights again

With my back to the drawing board

A message in a bottle that I just ignored

Holding onto to your friends is like water in your hands

There's always some that ends up on the floor

And there's no truth behind the curtain only more questions

So if life becomes a pointless war and you're just fighting to survive

Learn to dance with the horns like a matador since you've already paid for the ride

So when the volcano clears her throat and you're just praying that you survive

Well no river decides which way it scribes, taking shape from the landslides

So when the thunderhead pounds it's drums and you feel smaller than you'd like

Remember destiny is just a coping technique for the answers that we are deprived
