Wilderun - Passenger

Lyrics to Passenger by Wilderun

Passenger He is a river with endless flow His source seems eternal under the water He found a loophole in creation’s glow So steady and measured his pace Oh what grace All in place All in place She is a mountain within a storm How beautifully weathered with no effort She’s probably had that since she was born How much we have reaped from a mind forlorn  While harvesting chaos, the door is ajar It starts seeping (Such spontaneity!) The beings enter from near and afar And they aren’t leaving (Blessed for eternity!) Keep feeding the gaping disease Where meaning persists (Isn’t it wonderful!) You know this journey is all that you need We must insist (Aren’t you so colorful!) Pain’s just a passenger In spite of the author We’ll never lead you to that lake To drown suffering and hate You need this like fire needs the air Tabula rasa, a road you should not dare Die in creation’s lair They are the martyrs, we’ll praise them so And borrow their feelings for just a while But once they sink in, we’ll let them go Oh surely they’ve learned to cope Forever the deal, it’s forever the plan To break every rock and inhale the sand Never enjoy the surface, always digging beneath You know what you are, when you see… All the hells and all the bliss revealed As a single god It won’t help, yet to it you must kneel It began its life as a partner When it fed you tales of woe and wonder It’s depleted all its stores Yet somehow it still remains It still feigns its uses Practical abuses How mundane this healing What are you achieving? It was a creature that clawed at your back Keeping your vision just slightly off-track “Oh don’t you worry, you’ll thank me for this Praise will rise from the ruins and mist” You still need me It gave you everything when this began Stories and questions and worlds to expand But it is the origin, is it the start? Or just a parasite sewn to your heart? Obfuscating Forevermore Drown in the wellspring Abandon meaning
