I believed I was an immortal Until you began opening portals To the future and the past To the needle and the flask Portals that warp my mind Like space and time Until I dematerialize From the appearance of lies
This portal I must climb back through When all the lies have become true Like when they said portals couldn't be climbed For there are no ledges Only pledges Of a hatred death wish That leaves me breathless
The portals had to be sealed You became my quantum mechanic The tires of the DeLorean squealed As we abandoned my stationary driveway And started rectifying my past By driving forward The portals' gravitational pull was lifted And I could walk again A pedestrian in paradise Until you teleport into the rain And I teleport into my brain Becoming a prisoner To thoughts that travel at the speed of light And create a beautiful spectrum in the mirror you presented to me I fear the day you shatter our light barrier You'll see you're more mature And fly away like a jet that's harrier Because once you can see my thoughts You'll sell all the stock you bought You'll see I'm merely mortal And you'll open new portals
