Owl III - 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
