lyrics

your wristband's getting thicker
and there's a rock there on your chest
that's tied to your ankle
that's tethered to your bedframe
that's pointing to the west

we swear not to speak of the past in present tense
there are no new ways of living
there's only new mornings to set our lives against

gathering our loose ends
we plotted our escape
and spoke of our dreams again
but they've had patents pending
since they started taking shape

we staggered through the jetway
past the windows wet with rain
you put on Metal Machine Music
to drown out the rumbling of the engines on the plane

in spite of the weight of the winter
in spite of it all
you waited for the snowfields to thaw
and aimed up at the surface
with your arrows tipped with purpose and resolve
