Exit

(Verse)
Static on the late-night screen
Purple shrouds and a silver dream
Comet burning in a borrowed sky
Told the faithful it was time to fly
Sneakers lined up by the door
Suitcases packed for something more
A quiet room in San Diego
Whispers only they could know
(Pre-Chorus)
He said the body’s just a vehicle
Rust and bone, replaceable
Close your eyes, don’t be afraid
There’s a higher level waiting in the shade
(Chorus)
Marshall’s voice on a VHS
“Step outside this human mess”
Underneath that comet’s light
We disappear into the night
(Verse)
Black and white against the wall
Final messages, that was all
Calm as Sunday, cold as rain
Smiling through the quiet pain
He said Earth was just a classroom
Graduation coming soon
Fold your hands and drink it down
Lay your temple on the ground
(Chorus)
Marshall’s voice on a VHS
“Step outside this human mess”
Underneath that comet’s light
We disappear into the night
(Verse)
He said the flesh is just a shell
A stepping stone, a wishing well
Shed your skin like yesterday
There’s a spacecraft hiding in the haze
Was it faith or was it fear?
Was it hope that drew them near?
Searching for a cleaner sky
Somewhere no one has to die
Distorted truth in a satellite stream
Salvation wrapped in a lucid dream
A promise hanging in the air
No one left to say a prayer
(Chorus)
Marshall’s voice on a VHS
“Step outside this human mess”
Underneath that comet’s light
We disappear into the night
(Bridge)
Next level… next level…
Leave it all behind
Next level… next level…
Unplug the human mind
(Chorus)
Marshall’s voice on a VHS
“Step outside this human mess”
Underneath that comet’s light
We disappear into the night
(Chorus)
Marshall’s voice on a VHS
“Step outside this human mess”
Underneath that comet’s light
We disappear into the night
(Outro)
Static hum and sneakers still
California on the hill
He said we’d rise above the weight
But the sky never opened…
At Heaven’s Gate.
