Elysium

(album: Yonder - 2022)

Everyone thinks they don't belong
Then they realize they did all along
All along

I still want to be a part of this world
I still want to be a part of this world

I'll watch the stars as they all cascade, all cascade
I still want to be a part of this world
I'll take the hills and make a new landscape
I still want to be a part of this world

Walking through the snow, my footsteps ought to show
Where I've been and where I'll go
In the cold of Alaska, where the mercury drops below
Zero, zero, zero, zero
The mercury drops below
And our bodies all slow down

Frozen where they can't be found
Underneath the avalanche
But I didn't even make a sound

I'll watch the stars as they all cascade, all cascade
I still want to be a part of this world
I'll take the hills and make a new landscape
I still want to be a part of this world

I still want to be a part of this world

Thought you made me a promise that we would never break
Thought I was sleeping, but my eyes were always wide awake
And now, in hindsight, I see what we had and what we are
You left me frostbitten but you ain't even get a scar

All the long nights, all the battles
Patch me up just to watch me unravel
What a sore sight, what can you handle
When my heart's at the end of your barrel

Everyone thinks they don't belong
Then they realize they did all along
All along

I still want to be a part of this world
Still want to be a part of this world
Still want to be a part of this world
I still want to be a part of this world
Still want to be a part of this world
Still want to be a part of this world

I'll watch the stars as they all cascade, all cascade
I still want to be a part of this world
I'll take the hills and make a new landscape
I still want to be a part of this world

I still want to be a part of this world

I'll watch the stars as they all cascade, all cascade
I still want to be a part of this world
I'll take the hills and make a new landscape
I still want to be a part of this world

I still want to be a part of this world
I still want to be a part of this world
