[Verse I]
(Kristoff Krane)
There's nothing to know, there's no one to miss
The longer I roam the colder it gets
Alone; slowly I grow with a hole in my chest, the size of my head
(Joe Horton)
No, something I said
Open it up, wind it inside
Know where to climb, level the mountains
Severe the spine, only the fountain, rusted and dry
(Kristoff Krane)
Yes, kept to the sky
Hope to the myths, face to my knees
I'm covered in dirt
It's only a moment to focus within and the moment I leave is to know that it (shows)
(Joe Horton)
No other option
Offer the throne, work is a promise covered in gold
Untangled the rope-force
Tangles the only remainder of home that I've seen on this search
[Hook] 2X
Take it in, breathe it out
Let the sparrows in your house
Show them where the attic is and let them be to set up shop
Watch them sing, while you dance
While you're cooking, while you break sh**
Never let them go, it's their escape, they're escaping
[Whistle Interlude]
There's a black bird sitting on a telephone wire
He couldn't fly away because his wings were very tired
But he knew he had a family and he missed them very much
Pretty soon he would be back, pretty soon he would be back, back, back, back
[Verse II]
(Joe Horton)
Back to just strap me down to the tree
Front to the trunk, hands up to the leaves
Stand, squeeze, the last of the sunlight screams in between the man that I am and the seed
Wanted to be, drift it away, stay, follow your legs
Wherever they take you, it's better that way
I'll send you a kiss if you wish it away
(Kristoff Krane)
The way, the way it sways in the wind
I lay all day awake, afraid, constrained
Shake, in my aging skin
There's no way out, no way to repair
No faith naked again, in shame
Nothing to blame, I make-believe I made a rainbow
Watched it for the heavy six-side of each slave
To free us all completely, but entangled ,obsolete
Play fair, weak arms defeat naive, hard to reach
I'm hardly me, please I come to leave
[Hook] 2X
