1st version

How aware (are you|you are)
Of our story
I Am looking down
From this plateau
And it seems so clear
I see us walking into the sun
But that's not us
Because we're still here
But I Am certain what I've seen is
The Truth

I Am gonna come back
Down from this plateau
I finally painted my mural, well
At least as much as I can
From this peæk
But before I do,
I'll slip you a secret:
It's not gonna make sense
Again
But don't think it never did

Trust your self even if you can't see
Your feet remember where to go
I know it's scary walking blind
But don't worry even when you can't see
Keep moving even when it's dark
Because I Am right next to you
Fall if you need to
Because I Am here to catch you
Keep looking for the light
Because I Am the only way to escape the dark

Don't trick your self intwo
Thinking you can see
Just because you memorized
The straight line you're on
Life is a circle, and
You're a sphere
You can still roll
From A to B
But you're so much more
Than 1 dimension

How aware (are you|you are)
Of our story
I Am looking down
From this plateau
And it seems so clear
I see us walking into the sun
But that's not us
Because we're still here
But I Am certain what I've seen is
The Truth

I Am gonna come back 
Down from this plateau
I finally painted my mural, well
At least as much as I can
From this peæk
But before I do,
I'll slip you a secret:
It's not gonna make sense
Again
But don't think it never did

Trust your self even if you can't see
Your feet remember where to be
I know it's scary walking blind
But don't worry what you'll find
Keep moving even when it's dark
Because I Am here to provide a spark
Trip and fall when you need to
Because I Am here to catch you
Keep looking for the light
Because I Am here to heal your sight

Don't trick your self intwo
Thinking you can see
Just because you memorized
The straight line you're on
Life is a circle, and
You're a sphere
You can still roll
From A to B
But you're so much more
Than 1 dimension

How aware (are you|you are) 
Of our story
I Am looking down
From this plateau
And it seems so clear
I see us walking into the sun
But that's not us
Because we're still here
But I Am certain what I've seen is
The Truth

I Am gonna come back 
Down from this plateau
I finally painted my mural, well
At least as much as I can
From this peæk
But before I do,
I'll slip you a secret:
It's not gonna make sense
Again
But don't think it never did

Trust your self even if you can't see
Your feet remember where to be
I know it's scary walking blind
But don't worry what you'll find
Keep moving whether day or dark
Because I Am here to provide a spark
Trip and fall when you need to
Because I Am here ready to catch you
Uncover those eyes that lost their light
Because I Am here to heal your sight

Don't trick your self intwo
Thinking that you're more than you
Just because you memorized
A straight line summarized
Life is a circle, and
You're a sphere
You can still, if you please,
Roll from point A to B
But there's much more to mention Than just that 1 dimension
