lyrics

What's the final word?
All of us are beautifully ugly and absurd
Wandering the earth in temporal form as mortal gods' reincarnated birth
Some times it takes a lifetime, some times in just a day
All living beings, including me, eventually decay

So, call me Captain Wrinkles
Slave to Father Time
Fallen every time I climb to Heaven
Karma's got a conscience, lagging just behind, watching forever

One thing that I've learned?
Light your torch in darkest storms until the sun returns

So, call me Captain Wrinkles
Slave to Father Time
Fallen every time I climb to Heaven
I am one among you, broken from the line
Suffer together
Call me Captain Wrinkles
Yesterday was mine
Even tho I still believe in Heaven
This is but a costume that we leave behind
We are forever

Close your eyes
Don't think twice
Rest your body, and become eternal sky
