Location Sydney Harbour, hanging inside the Convention Centre at Darling Harbour There is a theory going around A theory where you gain insights into all that is But there is nothing for you And yet you are driven to see yourself in everything that is We are still hiding in that dark room With only one candle lit In awe of our shadows Looking at what we do with ourselves
