"Panopticon" lyrics from Smashing Pumpkins' "Oceania"

Rise
Love is here
Don't make me wonder
Lights never clear
Trace those wounds

Use the views
To build don’t prove
Don't make me suffer
Birds from the wind, [and will]

Rest in the chains of desire
Run thru the veins of tonight
Stroll across the years [.... of] your life

There’s a sun that shines in
There’s a world that stares out of me

[Out of me/out of the breeze], to [thee -it just sounds like it, really!]

Wake, love is here
Don't make me suffer
[To dash debonair]
[Trace those wounds]
[Use the pain, hide those blame]
Don't make me wonder

To ask what we have [in you]
You, where are you?

Where are you?
Where are you?
There’s a sun that shines in
There’s a world that stares out of me
All out of you, it’s real
There’s a sun that shines in
There’s a world that stares out of me
All out of you
And all out of you
It’s there

There’s a sun that shines [in you]
There’s a sun that shines
There’s a sun that shines [in you]

So, for those unfamiliar with how I do things: block parenthesis mean the lyrics are in question; the rest is readily understood, a word missing. You will note the gist of the song fits with the definition of the structure that is the title word, but in a positive way. And time will tell my aptitude for this realm of speculation, as any search will show that no one really has a handle on these lyrics. Yea, I hope they publish them, they're great. But I'm not making any bets, not sure 'e has the balls.

Oh and it's delightful!
