Are you sleeping
Are you dreaming
Are you standing by
I see you helpless
And I feel selfless
Don't need a reason why
Look out the window into the sun
You set the heavens afire

But you can't keep a spark in a jar
You must've traveled so far
Flesh was superimposed upon a star
I know what you are
Peel off your outer skin
Only to find...
That you are the alien

Time has come but you don't know it
Find yourself an empty book
Burn these words into the snow
"I won't be coming home tonight"

Are you breathing
Are you leaving
Are you spying by
It's always something
Not for nothing
You never say goodbye
Look out the window into the sun
You set the heavens afire

But you can't keep a spark in a jar
You must've traveled so far
Flesh was superimposed upon a star
I know what you are
Peel off your outer skin
Only to find...
That you are the alien

Time has come but you don't know it
Find yourself an empty book
Burn these words into the snow
"I won't be coming home tonight"
Time has come but you don't know it
Find yourself an empty book
Burn these words into the snow
"I won't be coming home tonight"

But you can't keep a spark in a jar
You must've traveled so far
Flesh was superimposed upon a star
I know what you are
You peel off your outer skin
Only to find...
That you are the alien

But you can't keep a spark in a jar
You must've traveled so far
Flesh was superimposed upon a star
I know what you are
You peel off your outer skin
Only to find...
That it's you who are the alien
