"Magenta Mountain" lyrics

"Magenta Mountain"

Look past the dying trees, beyond waterless seas
Atop the horizon
Adjacent to the sun
I give my word that it's there - Magenta Mountain

What do you mean, you can't see it?
My life must be a dream - a living fantasy
Disappeared in hot air - Magenta Mountain

I don't believe you
Your eyes deceive you
Better check yourself in
The mirage is creeping outwards from your dream
Can't you see you've gone insane?

I packed my bags and my swag for the road
Followed the bows of the ancient railroads
Need to rendezvous where clouds can't misconstrue
I'm certain it's real - Magenta Mountain

You will say I'm crazy
I will go on my way because it's what I need
I'd cross a thousand seas just to prove I'm not mad
Magenta Mountain
Magenta Mountain

It's you again
Yeah!
I thought I saw a statue blink and a bird with no head
Land on a golden thread
I rub my eyes
What am I saying?
There's nothing there

Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
It's my sanctuary that I wanna be chasing every chance I get
Don't wanna be left
Never not making it there

What was confusing is now seducing
Imagination is a powerful thing
I see a flash of purple stone closing in

Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
It's my sanctuary that I wanna be chasing every chance I get
Don't wanna be left
Never not making it there

I am tectonic
I am megalithic
My spirit runs mauve
I am the mountain of which you dream
I see you now behind the lens looking back at me

We fell through a dream across clouds of glue
Anamnesis crashing through

Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
Magenta mountain
