There was an open
door peeking through the heat
that looked enticing
to these tired hands and feet
we kept the mission to ourselves
even though the pressure was so deep
making for the shelter on the hill
we will find the prisoner had gone free
he had gone free…

It takes an ocean
to realize the street
has taken our lives
and put the best luck out of reach
go where no vision can be found
make the best of everything you see
build a track so we can cut around
to a place where everyone can meet
up knee-to-knee

and I wouldn’t approach the lip
till I could see the end of this

Where could we hide the myth
without calling all eyes to it?
since blame became part of it

and I shouldn’t approach the tip
of the iceberg they are floating in
still I keep this inside my grin
until time undoes the lie it spins

Since what you are no human can resist
the mortal mirror golden in your care
such fearless arms will carry out the task
to bring you back to put you to the test

It sounded something like a heart (heart) breaking in half
one to the woods, one to the nest not nearly making a sound
beat (beat) stumble (stumble) over itself
I’m barely making it out, you’re hardly making a sound

I did the best I could to keep myself together while the full of the advance was surely more than I could take on by myself

We didn’t need to think hard, we didn’t need to think at all
(..swiftly in your chest…)

though we know the way they need to get to where they’re going
home they’ll stay forgetting all the worst that followed them

..the modern words
are meant to open up eyes
but despite all hidden feeling
interest is waning inside
I’ll go, I’ll find, I meant to carry wind back for them
no they turn their backs and slip away

though we know the way they need to get to where they’re going
home they’ll stay forgetting all the worst that followed them

the modest birds
their wings and their way to fly
looking up so honestly
intending to make it alive

I can attest to the night faring well
without the muscle to coax you through the spells
Gather this up in your memory only

Lifting ropes up to
the ship that holds you firmly in its scoop

When can I ask to move on from this shell?
Merely the question shakes all of me, all of me
Bearing down just to stop sliding to tell
gather this up it’s your only memory

Spill the kindest truth,
you skip permission scathing only you

Clearly this lesson has gone on too long
Making it seem worse in spite of you, spite of you
never accept to move on for the song
Gather this up in your memory only

Well what would I keep
to myself
if I were questioned alone?
Would I keep all your secrets
to myself?
Or would I spill them right in their laps
or would I keep them to myself?

In case you didn’t know
In case you didn’t know
I’m right behind you…
