Illuminate Me

Up and down - back and forward
Rattle the cage - to wake my mother
From black and white dreams and colorful spells
Into a different set of rooms – where we don’t belong
A serpent arrives - from out of the depths
Heading for the sun - looking into my eyes
Illuminate me so i may see the light
Eliminate me so i cease to long for anything
Illuminate me so i can tell what’s right
Eliminate me so i come to know myself

I better run - before you touch me
Tripping over my own feet i - break open my head
Black and white flowers and colorful insects
Emerge from the wound – too many to contain them
Footsteps in the sand - lead out through a gate
Onto a winding path – in between two towers
Illuminate me so i may see the light
Eliminate me so i won’t remember anything
Illuminate me so i can sense what’s right
Eliminate me so i come to forget myself

High and low - in laughter and in tears
Among ruins on a hill - overlooking a dark sea
Of black and white words and colorful songs
Closing in around me – stealing my breath
Answers appear – and convictions dissolve
We get ready for the flames – to embrace our souls

Illuminate me - eliminate me - illuminate me - eliminate me

A dose of confusion - to bridge the gap
Building a ship - within a bottle
Filled with black and white fears and colorful hopes
Afloat on an ocean – in search of meaning
Right here right now - death defeats life
Questioning my love – for everything around me

Illuminate me so i may see the light
Eliminate me so i lose everything
Illuminate me so i can feel what’s right
Eliminate me so i find what’s left of myself

Illuminate me - eliminate me - illuminate me - eliminate me

Aliens and angels came to illuminate me
Aliens and angels came to eliminate me

This might be in ext version between verse 4 & final chorus ?

Illuminate me so i may see the light
Eliminate me so i transcend everything
Illuminate me so i shall do what’s right
Eliminate me so i don’t get in the way of myself
