Lyrics:
II. WITHIN THE INBETWEEN
[WEAVER 1]
The flow of time quickly becomes imperceptible — seconds feeling like hours, hours feeling like seconds — with one particular notion growing to the forefront of Tkáyo's mind… “How… why?”
[VERSE 1]
--Tkáyo:
Drifting through this unreality
Confusion replacing pain,
Running circles in my brain
Losing sense of everything 'round me
Will I ever be the same,
As this darkness stakes its claim?
[CHORUS]
--Tkáyo:
Is this what they call "destiny"
Trapped within this inbetween
Feeling like a shadow, cast like a stain
Is this what they call "irony"?
The protagonist I wished to be?
Running like a coward, knowing only shame
[VERSE 2]
--Tkáyo:
Fear as my mind begins to race:
Is this afterlife or death?
A million thoughts swirl 'round my head
Fate, I refuse to play your game
Of all the people on this earth,
What did I do to deserve...?
{CHORUS}
III. WELCOME, TRAVELLER
[WEAVER 2]
And just as soon as it began, Tkáyo immediately awakens as a new, unfamiliar landscape greets him. Tired and exhausted from his travels, Tkáyo takes one last look at his surroundings before his vision darkens completely, blacking out...
[CHORUS (VARIANT)]
--Tkáyo:
Is this what they call purgatory?
The other side of this inbetween
Neither hell nor heaven, I'm so alone...
