lyrics

Look at your hands
Pretend they extend
To the top of the world
Reach for the crease
Straighten your face
As proof that you’re spurned
Watch those fingers
Once gripped lovers
Now grasp at straws
Feel yourself broken
Truer words never spoken
Now we can be lost

It’s happening again
For a real tide can be turned
Or prove that it can’t
Can you?

Walk those beaches
Wallow in sand
Imagine infinity
Admit that you can’t
Shelve your commands
Decide on compliancy
Find some verbs
Make words come alive
And bring new life to me
Drip the ideas
Your feet under water
Let ripple impossibly

It’s happening again
For a real tide can be turned
Or prove that it can’t
Can you?

Hold out your hands
Answer me this
Just why did you run?
Maybe you don’t know
Tired, it shows
As proof you’ll be burned
Look at your hands
Pretend they extend
To the ends of the earth
Reach for a star
Let it burn in your palm
And this is rebirth
