"Earthbound" lyrics

All right, Alex, now this is going to
Sting a little? I know
No, actually it's going to hurt like a motherfucker

Sometimes I curse that I was born a cripple
To the sky I'm under, bound by my two feet
I walk the road paved by our evolution
Grinding my illusions, this earth is not for me

But in my mind's eye, a vision of ourselves
In our cradle of dust and stone

I nurse a single dream, a memory
One I can't remember, and I am not alone
I wake from my suspended animation
Deprived of my creation just like a drone

But in my mind's eye, a vision of ourselves
As the blind leads the fallen

Sometimes I curse that I was born a cripple
To the sky I'm under, forged to imprison me
Somewhere in time I'll wreck these chains around me
Even those inside me, blasting my way free

But in my mind's eye, a vision of ourselves
As we leave this time and place behind
