lyrics

I can barely hear you through the snow
the static lets me know
that once again the frequency we’re on begins
failing in deliverin
the message we’re commiserating
in, because the signal’s thin
because the signal’s

thin excuse to hop from stone to stone
and know i’ve not outgrown
my want or need
for mediocrity it seems
the cutting edge that tore us free is
the very same that made us bleed
alone
made us bleed alone

You would not believe your eyes
if you hit the right time on the passenger side
you would not believe your eyes
falling to pieces again

shattering the dream comes to an end
the broken glass won’t mend
and like before
the scattered shards upon the shore
will glitter in the hope that when
you see them you will gather them
and take them home and draw them in
and hold them close against your skin and bone
against your skin and bone

(if you hit the right time on the passenger side
you would not believe your eyes)

thinly veiled these metaphors I know
and so I turn to go
and as before the sunlight through the op’ning door
widens the horizon that
there’s no escape save
living on and on
living on and
