lyrics

This task is eating me whole,
This building’s swarming with crows -
Caught in between the names that we chose.
I’ve been watching my hands glow,
And gratefully so.
I’m not half as bright on my own.

Abandon all doubt, he who enters
And push away from shore.
Call back how it feels to be born
And remind me what I’ve ignored.
Abandon all doubt, he who enters
And circle around my heart,
It beats like a fist on a door. Ever higher,
Onward, holy engine.

All day I lay sleeping
on a hearthstone I abhor
And I so easily could dream away
my life and never stir.
But I’ve been clawing at my cage,
Leaving scratches in the walls.
And I think I’m dying here,
Dressed in a servant’s clothes.

All the things that keep me still running
Are telling me I’m only getting started.
All the things that keep me so distracted
(What was I thinking)
