Neverland

(album: Nu Soul - 2017)

Hey diddle diddle, the fox plays the fiddle
As the man on the moon plays the fool
So little bo-peep, pay no mind to your sheep
Wolves are hiding under their wool
Every tale told leaves these kids as crows
They caw and call for you

In this nursery the ebb and flow seed into me
In this fallacy the hinges on the door rust and recede

So pin up your parasols and walk me to the ledge
Where between your toes you'll feel the sand of Neverland
Here on the banks of time where we'd never tread ever again

I am sea more than I am land
Searching for a secret I'll never understand
Yet still I build these statues with stone-like, calloused hands
For the world of the wild eyed
Atop the hills from where they stand
I am sea more than I am land

And as we fall from the sky, unto the mighty divide
For a plague of the stars sings a choir of our scars
On the second star to the right, head straight on until morning
Until morning

Now it's taking shape
As I follow my feet, they lead me to this place
While the ships are flying, tell me am I still me?
If my shadow is stitched to my heels
Let it know that I just can't be free

Because we're owed to a place where wishes are like paper planes
But can't be thrown away
To levitate and fold in like a paper crane
In a town where we won't age a day
Imagination awaits

I am sea more than I am land
Searching for a secret I'll never understand
Yet still I build these statues with stone-like, calloused hands
For the world of the wild eyed
Atop the hills from where they stand
I am sea more than I am land

As the night rolls in the white meets it
To shed away the stars so the dawn can live
These similar states of night and day
Wait in the shadows to one day be the same

I am sea more than I am land
Searching for a secret I'll never understand
Yet still I build these statues with stone-like, calloused hands
For the world of the wild eyed
Atop the hills from where they stand
I am sea more than I am land
