lyrics

You are dust, but you have settled on me.
Clean myself up, but I am just pushing dirt around.
At first blush we know what we're made of: sterner stuff.
But are we strong enough?

You say don't pull back. Just hold the rope.
Cause it's my last leg and I'm off balance.

We had nothing to draw on, no pages for the ink. So we used our skin as paper to hold the memories.
Life spent as the chandelier that others swing from, while they're filling up your days, you don't live one.

You say don't pull back. Just hold the rope.
But it's my last leg and I'm off balance.
Don't pull back.

Gather up these bleached bones into a shelter you will never leave.
You were always so good at looking but you never leap.
Gather up my old bones into a home that you just want to leave
You were always so good at looking and you leapt without me.
