lyrics

All of the work
We do to prove our worth
And none of it will ever leave this Earth
Keys to the cage
Unlatch and tear away
Rising up and flying off the page
Planting one firm foot in the next age

But I could go out by myself
Up the widow’s walk and ring the bell
With no ear to hear or ring it for
As sands are folded in on unknown shores

So cling and bring near
All flesh familiar
Back and forth fixed to a speck of dirt
Continents shift and my friends have a rift
Rivers don’t care if they repair it
Smaller than we’d all want to admit

But I could go out with my friends
Up all night to talk and the time just spends
Four apart and four in tune
As unknown shores are hit by the same moon so
Shake off

Everyone row to put on a good show
Place focus on the things you can control
A corner, a room
A speck of mind or mood
A small but lasting thread will follow through
With no thought to what nothing can undo

But I could go out anytime
Unspool the reel and close the eye
Darkest place I’ve ever been
As clothes are torn, sewn up, and worn again

To work and to work
To find out what it’s worth
As casualties of comfort line the Earth
Straight to the brain
No struggle or strain
Grab tighter on or let go of the reigns
