Tumbling through the sky, way too fast
It’s hard to see with the sting of the smoke in my eyes
Got to act or it’s going to crash
These axiom engines are bursting with flames
Looking back, it’s a shame but we must
Define and quantify everything
Even values don’t deserve trust
The reasons are unknown to me
Pull myself out from the twisted wreck
No idea where the hell I’ve ended up
Giant mushrooms loom overhead
Gotta go and find my way back
I see gnomes that are stealing from nests
Salamanders in lecherous embrace
Cannot feel the sylph overhead
The nymphs will not touch my face
Finally I will climb back up
To a cliff top, wind whistling through my hair
And I see I might never find my way home
But maybe that isn’t so bad
Finally I see that the land around me
It is beautiful
And though I may never fly like before,
I can make new engines with this
I can make new engines with this
I can make new engines with this
I can make new engines with this
Gonna fly away with all this
