The Quest And The Curse

(album: Dark Waters - 2023)

Searching the skies, wonder why
So afraid I'll never know
Wasting away here on the ground longing to soar up to great heights
The beast that preys upon me
Casting my eyes down

Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all

Reject, revoke, deny your own blame
I will now justify all you do
I am Deimos, Phobos of old days
I am the shallow grave hunting you

Hearts hunger for something more
Frightened by ghosts of our own creation
When we suffocate the aspirations that we scorn
The monster hunting me down
Will pull me under

Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all

I am despair, your dread, your fear, shame
I am the parasite deep in you
I am Deimos, Phobos of old days
I am the shallow grave hunting you

How can I find the second star to the right?
I fear that I've forgotten how to fly
I face my greatest enemy within
Fear of falling my lullaby

Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all

Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all
