I was born in a small town
Western New York with next to no neighbors around
And I longed for the city
More with every year of living in the country
And I had such big, big dreams
I carried them around wherever I would go with me
When I wound up in NYC
Everything at first was so damn easy
Can we finally get some truth?
When it's hard just to get by
I have a little trouble trying not to try
I tend to long for the ether
Free from my body's superfluous features
And I want it so, so bad
The curtain on the mystery to finally peel back
When I've wandered so far
I look back on patch of well earned scars
I don't want to tell you how
They found me hanging upside down
There is nothing I have left to prove
Sometimes I get torn apart
Put together back at the start
Kind of like Sisyphus did too
Just like you
Can we finally get some truth?
Can we finally get some truth?

Memories recurring
Seem to be mostly bad
Good times, achievements
Get lost in my setbacks
I fell for the dream
You can have what you want
It turns out it's harder
Than I ever would have thought
Desire, my heart yearns
More with every passing day
And I want some wisdom
To come me
As I age
As I Age
Show me the motions
Take me to your secret place
Grant me, deliver
Some kind of new and special grace
Cuz I'm here, so take me
I wanna be so much more
Than I was, what will I be
From now on, forevermore
Desire, my heart yearns
More with every passing day
And I want some wisdom
To come me
As I age
As I Age
