Hold me up because I've been talking in my fever dreams.
Somebody tell me what we traded for the truth.
I could never be the one that you expect to lead,
A shepherd on a cliff who climbs away to see the view.
I tried to drink from the ocean,
To lie in the fountain,
To be sure.
All I have to spare is my whole life,
Potentially finite.
Are you sure?
Shake me up because I've been days behind the library stairs
And when the process is the product, I'm alive.
I could try to be the one that you expect to lead -
A lantern, all its shadows, and the fire intertwined.
Tell me you would never falter.
(I'm waiting through the cold)
Show me skin without a flaw.
(Give me shelter for my own)
Tell me you'll be my brother in the shallows,
We traded off our compass
And named the vessel Progress.
When it all comes back to haunt me,
When it all comes back to life,
All the time I couldn't find,
And all the lines I didn't write.
