about

There are different ways to have new experiences, some of these encourage personal growth and are 'real'. Others are dangerous illusions, fabrications that inevitably cause more confinement than they do expansion.

lyrics

They threw open every door
To let the sun's rays warm their face
But this was never enough for them
So new apertures were broken open

And if you follow the same path as them
This is where it will end

In this way new windows were fashioned
To let the light through every crack
And they found so much more
So much more than they bargained for

And if you follow the same path as them
This is where it will end
And if you follow that same fateful road my friend
Well this is where it will end

Their sun has gone down in the West
Fog has rolled out as dusk took hold
But their world has halted upon it's axis
And that night now knows no end

I have seen their many windows today
Crudely boarded up with wood
And I have seen their many doors today
Deadbolted and nailed to their frames

And if you follow the same path as them
This is where it will end
And if you follow that same fateful road my friend
Well this i where it will end

Your sun will go down in the West
Fog will roll out as dusk takes hold
But your world will halt upon it's axis
And your night will know no end
