Cartogram Out of Phase Lyrics
On top
Of the roof,
I realized
That there was no moon;
Searching for it
Among the sprinkled stars,
I gazed into the lights reaching
From millions of years ago!
See—
See in the past
Outside the present;
Out-world within my room,
The castle of monologues;
The endless failures are trapped;
The moon had disappeared because now the world is reversed,
And my feet are on her land;
I'm out of the room of my life,
With a perfect shape of love
Filling the empty hole in my heart.
Of the roof,
I realized
That there was no moon;
Among the sprinkled stars,
I gazed into the lights reaching
From millions of years ago!
See in the past
Outside the present;
The castle of monologues;
And my feet are on her land;
With a perfect shape of love
Filling the empty hole in my heart.

A few corrections:
"I gazed into the lights reaching you"
"Our* world within my room"
"And my feet are on her limb**"
"I'm out of the room of my mind***"
*'Out-world' doesn't make much sense, but it doesn't much sound like Toby's singing 'our', nor does 'outward' seem a better fit. I'm stumped by this one.
**If the world were reversed (perhaps turned upside-down), it seems to me that one's feet would more likely be on the 'limb' of a mythical World Tree than on "her 'land'". The lyrics are so esoteric that the world's reversal could mean any number of things, so I won't speculate as to other reasons why 'limb' might be a better choice than 'land'.
***I'm not sure about the last word in the second-to-last verse; it sounds as if it could be either 'life' or 'mind'.
