lyrics

Mega stars tracing their lines today
Colors bleeding into shapes of grey
Feeling restless at the ring of fate

Limit my adhesion to our stain
No matter who draws pictures to convey
Our righteous trust in seeing through

Steady stream preserves my face at bay (what remains at the end of the drain)
Ripples streak across the interface (transparent walls feel double the pain)
Scour down the surface for a fake, unattainable weight to raise (picking up crumbs when there's)
Something always in the way

Trust my balance as I breeze the line with both eyes closed, still you run away anyway
And I can't say I felt any pull of the rope
Nothing to bring me to swallow or choke
Just gazing into fog, blind eye to the smoke

You cut the rails, it's needless to say
Thank you for making me lead the way
Thinking back I remember all the things that I told you, to keep in mind the faces that hurt you, triggering reminder of stuff to refer to
Or pursue

You don't need to tell me what I forgot

Caught among the voices up and below
I'm sure this day won't be alone
