I know the secrets of the universe
But no one would believe me anyway
So I keep them all locked up
And I bury them on the seashores
Of my brain

I have seen the Alpha and the Omega
And I was blinded but not by sight
My name is Elisha and my name is Enoch
I'm nothing more than a spectator
On the sidelines on the bleachers
Of my life

My grandfather passed away two winters ago
But maybe he's not gone at least in mind
His body six feet under next to the secrets
The universe has placed within the chambers
Of my heart

I'm dying, dying to find out what comes next
I'm scared, scared to be forgotten by this land
I'm breathing, each breath draws me closer
I'm running, late to live the best years
Of my life
