lyrics

There is no guarantee, no promise of fair. I will discard what I cannot repair and start to build again. I’ve got half-tied hands, burnt fingertips, and distractions.

Show me time. Lease some space. Give us rest.

Attempts to define every angle and hatched line, forget most of their meaning towards the end. Reassurance remains silent. I want secrets held by pyramids. I want to bury doubt and indifference. I will.

I will. I will what’s left to die.

I will unravel old gauze. I will take note of the cause. And I will remember the soft symphonies of abandoned buildings, and every word I heard that carried a weight worth more than just sound and syllables.

For all the words we learned that carry a weight worth more than just sound and syllables-- we’ve been hanging on with broken thumbs.

We’ve been hanging onto what is broken.
