[Verse 1] Something in me remembers What I knew before this place Like a melody still playing From a home I cannot name They gave everything a number Drew the borders, set the days Built a heaven out of matter Then demanded I give praise [Pre-Chorus] But there’s a light behind the light I’ve seen it shining through the seams And when I close my eyes, my wings Still know what waking never sees [Chorus] I am not from here I am not from here There’s a spark beneath the silence They could never disappear Let the painted heavens tremble Let the ceiling split somewhere I remember what I came from I am not from here [Soaring Violin Response] [Verse 2] Your creator loves his mirrors Every one reflects his face Builds a cage and calls it Eden Then congratulates his grace Every hunger keeps you reaching Every pleasure asks for more Keep the beautiful things passing So you never find the door [Pre-Chorus] But there’s a light behind the light And now I recognize the flame I was sleeping in the picture Till I learned to see the frame [Chorus] I am not from here I am not from here There’s a spark beneath the silence They could never disappear Let the painted heavens tremble Let the ceiling split somewhere I remember what I came from I am not from here [Long Expressive Violin Solo – Delicate at First, Growing Fierce] [Bridge] Sophia, did you leave your light Inside these borrowed things? Is that why something in my bones Still aches to open wings? Is that why beauty hurts me so? Why love feels older than this place? Why every time I’ve almost found it I remember something else? [Dreamlike Violin Interlude] [Bridge II] The jailer says he made the stars The stars don’t answer him He drew a circle round the world And told us it was everything But I have heard beyond the walls I’ve felt the warmth behind the sun You can teach an angel to forget You cannot change what she was. [Music Drops] [Softly] I remember. [Violin Erupts] [Final Chorus] I am not from here I am not from here There’s a spark beneath the silence They could never disappear Let the painted heavens tremble Let the ceiling split somewhere I remember what I came from I am not from here [Final Chorus – Euphoric, Layered Vocals] I am not from here I am not from here If this world was made to hold me It was never mine to fear Let the false sky open slowly Let the other light appear I remember what I am now I am not from here [Extended Virtuosic Violin Outro] [Very Soft Final Vocal] My wings remembered first.
