Artifex Pereo – Fool's Errands lyrics

There's something here that's not always seen
My reason to believe is embedded in me
My gums are these streets
Making these buildings my teeth
Founded on a date that I can't help but remember

It's so paternal to clamber through
This mountainous web that you've weaved;
Un-constricting and inviting of a return (shameless if need be)
When feeling through dark halls of supposed opportunity

Behind endless doors not at all like the one held open
There's nothing quite like the door held open

And if I end up losing everything before everything loses me

[Chorus:]
If I end up losing everything before everything loses me
At least it will be
At least it will be
At least it will be in succession
By the wake of those who would kill to have
Kill to have no home
A western base is a mark
And the opposing peak is a goal

Without a map
A compass for a heart and the mountains surrounding me
Lead a man to believe that
In between we are sitting so pretty
Comfortable in our occupancy
We are attempting to be somewhere
Inside of shapes and lines
I am calling out for a place to call home
Out for a place to call my own

[Chorus]

There's something here that's not always seen
My reason to believe is embedded in me

I can't fathom why to leave (x3)
