Artifex Pereo Overview Lyrics

I've been chasing a ghost that's been known to mislead
I followed it through the thin line that hugs me
At first I never thought to look back
Believe me, man, it's a sight we all need
Hanging there was everything that I knew, a brilliant, blue flame
Clasped between two weary palms attached to endless arms
Carefully carried through all that dark
Days are spinning away with the rate of giant breaths
Each rotation we are blessed, reminds of all we'll ever be
We invest too much in this, to not learn from every leap
