Querents - Eidola

I talk to myself in my sleep

Lucid walk through the doorway

To watch her dance along the tapestries

Cascade dreams

But the man who dreamt the dreamer isn’t me

Manifest and create

Now everything I ever wanted lies behind the gate

Locked shut, and glistening with gold

I’ve yet to find a path that isn’t coal

I’ve been waking up just to see the sun glisten

For the hierophant and fall away

I’ve waited my whole life and given up my selfish hands

That built this all, to hear you say you know my name

I give my mind to leave you with something

More than psalms and antiquated anecdotes

I give my body to the bedlam of this schema we call transition

To find the origin of our past transgressions

I’ve been waking up just to see the sun glisten

For the hierophant and fall away

I’ve waited my whole life and given up my selfish hands

That built this all, to hear you say you know my name

There’s wisdom in the water

When you drink it from the grail

The magician’s blessed with providence

But a fool can never fail

Your fate can be adjusted

If you have a soul to sell

But if the world is an illusion

Then the empress hides the veil

When elation takes its toll on me

Libration allows my soul to plant a seed

I’ve been waking up just to help the chariot

Carve a way for every age who plays this game

This game I still choose to play

I’m not waiting my whole life for someone to save me

When I’ve already saved my self from the dark

I seek the light to find you again
