Sometimes it feels like all the people in the world are standing right on top of my chest
Atropos strained with noble threads, they aim to take away my breath
Feel like I cannot breathe as I grow my leaves and branch out now in disbelief
Like all that talk back in school while growing up could make me see
They said you’re supposed to dream, supposed to believe
Just follow your heart to be what you must be
Passing that threshold while my age degrades me from my youthful bended knees
I guess I'm just naive
I chose to listen to their motivation and perceive, so now it's time to break free
These chains have become all broken, gnarled, finally it’s been spoken
Along the wind that I can change and play again with brand new tokens?
I am Zalenka! Trapped along a timeline, lost within its notion
That I am never turning back, the sun drops low, and then the sky turns black
A fire billows with a pluming trail of smoke that I can see and track
I guess I'm never going back

Welcome to the castle, I hope you’re here to battle
As it's been years without a hassle, and I am bored with kicking gravel
There is no horse to saddle, nowhere for you to go
Stuck in the Muse's creative noose medieval styles hear me flow
Tell me then when was the last time you stopped to think awhile
It's been years for me, my child as I'm lost it seems, here alone in exile
This is now my home and my soul
My castle is only reached by quantum time travel or so I'm told

The horizon holds a silhouette that opens up a perfect path, no that’s not a certain fact
Now approaching, it is a castle ancient looking and torn right from the past
A smile cracks, I'm taken back aghast by the distant sounding blast
Sighting light and electrical current this palace has amassed
Enough to evade, evaporate my timeless phase-like vision from a mere mile away
I rushed within gates to rearrange my fates
As the only God is Death as it closes in to sway me but I turn to him and say, not today
So I'm still here making ways to create, think, evolve in any way Followed a trail that can still be seen
No, don't lie to me just please, please repeat after me... I am the epiphany that you all seek!
I'm not sure how I arrived to be honest after enjoying this for long now I feel these memories the fondest
Now with free time I ponder questions like why
Was I brought here alive to show the inner workings of my head and its many sides?
Through gray and jaded mirrors smeared images appear of the changing tides
Down here is where my fear is hidden deep inside the dungeon to reside so I can be myself this time
