Once
I fell
I reached for the stars and I fell
Now I need your help
I jumped
A spell
So transfixing that I can't tell
I came too far, I can tell
Mixed up and thrown back into the fray
I'm turned around, I'm so confused, but not running away
Mind distilled and broken, defenses left smokin'
There's no other way that this scene can be real
I must have gone insane somewhere
I don't know another explanation
This is the end, I know it's not fair
But drop me like hot coals into the asylum
Pillars falling, shifting, crawling
Darkness climbing high into the sky
Babylon, my mind, take pity
I've been wrong about this sideways city
Time's so hard to follow in a straight line
My home is the scene of the crime
Why so far into the mystery blinded
I should have seen a sign of some kind
Dance
In the fire
Hopeless, I scheme for revenge
And I need your help
One chance
One empire
Breaking the rules we can't bend
I left this home in hell
Lost and overcome, all that's left is to pray
I'm perilous, and dangerous, these wicked games we play
I gorge myself on hope and left my mind too open
You got it in my mind that there were secrets to reveal
These memories come flooding back everywhere
These visions of my desperate damnation
I lost a friend, but I don't seem to care
As I clasp her hands I know she is not gone
Fire falling, shifting, calling
Darkness climbing up past the red sky
Babylon, my heart, take pity
I've been lost in this sideways city
Time's so hard to follow in a straight line
My home is the scene of the crime
Why so far into the mystery blinded
I should have seen a sign of some kind
I can remember it clearly now
How far apart we became
But if you returned and deigned to come down
To visit me, I'd love to see you again
And I am falling, shifting, bawling
Crying as I'm climbing through the sky
Babylon, my soul, take pity
I was found in this sideways city
And light shone on my face one day
I awaken to see I am not alone anymore
A dream of a time and place so far away
But I'll be happy to open that door
Time's so hard to follow in a straight line
My home is the scene of the crime
Why so far into the mystery blinded
I should have seen a sign of some kind
My mind, so hard to follow in a straight line
My heart is the scene of a crime
But why so far into the mystery blinded
Could you reach out and restore my sight
