The New Mythology

Ghostly eyes so old, I can hardly see you;
Coming underground, digging through to feel you
The echoes in the night tell me not to follow
is born again tomorrow
The whole world is like a giant burning flame
It fries you in your mind, and leaves you trying
To find the way home
I have seen you there, in the new mythology
Walking down the road, blending with the scenery
The treasure’s all the world, falling from your fingers
Riding in the dark, the feeling always lingers
The whole world is like a giant burning flame
It fries you in your mind, and leaves you trying
To find the way home
Sometimes you can’t escape
From the crushing weight, drags you on down to the bottom
The faces and the names all just go away
Buried down deep and forgotten
Outside on the road, I heard the rain falling
All the big black birds, they all came calling
Early in the morning, in the light
Rolling through the days, flying through the night
The whole world is like a giant burning flame
It fries you in your mind, and leaves you trying
To find the the way home
