lyrics

The morning light
It’s all blue off-whites and running us ahead
It’s quite a sight for sorer eyes that are trying to express
The way I feel I struggle to tell you
And I know I’ve got some work to do
Open up the sails to the wind and test your shoulders
Pull the rope; a little tighter grip, your hands can hold us
This gust of courage is all it takes
To stack all the pieces that we’d created

And I realize that there’s only so much air
So I decided that I’m gonna take a breath
We lost sight of the shoreline
Can’t find home so we divide

A warning sign
I’ve taken to this ship and its departments
Now I know that the tide can pull the currents that’ll guide us
But I will not break this mould I’ve shaped
And I confuse the things I’ve chased

And I realize that there’s only so much air
So I decided that I’m gonna take a breath
We lost sight of the shoreline
Can’t find home so we divide

What could I tell you?
Are you ready to choose?
It’ll be over soon
No, didn’t want
Didn’t want this
Who?
Who are you?
Holding onto the noose
No, didn’t want, didn’t want this
