Trapeze

(album: The Shapes - 2017)

I was walking in my sleep, I met a man who
Couldn't dream
It's hard to believe
He said, "I been losing confidence
in a loop of existence
If you know what I mean"

Lifetimes passing by
Feels like we fall behind
Waiting for a sign, can anybody help me?

Where did you go?
Somebody help me
Oh no, you're on your own
Left in the afterglow

It was obvious to me
In his hands he held the key,
just not like it seemed
I said, "Brother let me help you out
You just got to lose these doubts
if you want to be free"

Lifetimes passing by
Feels like we fall behind
Waiting for a sign, can anybody help me?

Where did you go?
Somebody help me
Oh no, you're on your own
Left in the afterglow

And suddenly it all became clear
He could see himself floating up from the void
The sky opened up and swallowed him whole
And he wasn't afraid, in fact he welcomed it his mind was made
No longer just another passenger,
not just another man or a card in a deck
Not just another soldier marching to a monotonous drum
He's not just another...

Where did you go?
Somebody help me
Oh no, you're on your own
Left in the afterglow

Lifetimes passing by
Feels like we fall behind
Waiting for a sign, can anybody help me?

Lifetimes passing by
Feels like we fall behind
Waiting for a sign, can anybody help me?
