[Verse 1: Elize]
A bitter revelation is a product of ambition
No matter what you say, I'm a stranger to submission

[Verse 2: Jake]
But what I see before me is an element of passion
In my recognition is the fallout of compassion

[Verse 3: Andy]
Taken life for granted, never struggle just to find
Illusions being planted deep inside of my mind

[Chorus: Elize & Andy]
It's an invitation to the corner of my mind
Act of desperation to see what I can find (To see what I can find!)
Here's our destination, so come on, step inside
Take my hand and you will discover what I hide

[Verse 4: Elize]
Deciphering enigmas is a part of who you are
Identify the secrets of the eagle and the compass star

[Verse 5: Jake]
So let it be proclaimed that I'm a slave to revelation
Show me your compassion, be a part of our creation
