ATLANTIS by Sheridan

DEAR PASSENGER
YOU HAVE ARRIVED FROM GATE 14

WELCOME TO ATLANTIS

AND I KEEP ON STARING AT THE BLUR
DEFYING BELIEF IN A SUNKEN ISLAND
CAPSIZE THE TITANS
FEAR OF DEFIANCE

IF THERE’S A HOLY LAND
I’LL SEEK FOR JUST ONE MORE HAND
BUT I THINK I DON’T WANNA STAY HERE ANYMORE
WHILE I’M STRAYING IN THE COLDEST SUMMER

AS PAINT DRIPS ON THE GROUND
I KEEP ON STARING AT THE BLUR
THE WORLD IN MY CANTHUS
THESE BRUSH STROKES STILL HAUNT
A PORTRAIT IN THE CLOUDS
GRASPING AT NOTHING, DEAD IN ATLANTIS

THE HAVOC I’VE CREATED
FROM A DETOUR TO A SPICK AND SPAN ENDING
LUCID CONTOURS BEGIN TO BLEND IN

EAVESDROP THE CHANTS ALONG THE SHORE
I’D SAY IT’S EASY, I’VE DONE IT A HUNDRED TIMES
AND I’LL BE DOING IT ONE MORE
THIS IS NOT HELL, IT’S A CIRCLE BELOW

AS PAINT DRIPS ON THE GROUND
I KEEP ON STARING AT THE BLUR
THE WORLD IN MY CANTHUS
THESE BRUSH STROKES STILL HAUNT
A PORTRAIT IN THE CLOUDS
GRASPING AT NOTHING, DEAD IN ATLANTIS

AT THE END OF THIS MAZE
I DON’T WANNA BE THE SAME, SEE THE SAME
LETTING OFF THE LEASHES I HOLD
TO PREACH A STORY TOLD
HERE IN ATLANTIS

THE ONE YOU’RE DESTINED TO BECOME
IS THE ONE YOU DECIDE TO BE

RESOLVING THE BLUR IN BRIGHTEST COLOURS

THE BEST WAY OUT IS ALWAYS THROUGH THE NUMB
BE STRONGER THAN YOUR STRONGEST EXCUSE

ALL EYES ON YOU
