lyrics

Un-stow my suitcase, carefully paint what my future holds
Colors bleeding uncontrolled.

I'll rescind the little white lie that brought me here to the turn of the tide
Waiting for the crash and burn.
Would you walk to the ends of the earth
A place to hide till the turn of the tide
Where desperation comes to bring sweet company.

I'm scaling mountains, finding the meaning in metaphors.
As birds fly below me I try not to show you.
Ascending higher, climbing the spires surrounding me.
Efforts to let go, I'll try not to show you my faces.

Trapped in the corner 'fraid that the messes I've made are mine,
Found the stable hand, cleaning up the lines.

I'm sailing airships, finding the meaning in metaphors.
As birds fly below me I try not to show you my faces.
(Waiting for the crash and burn)
Ascending higher, climbing the spires surrounding me.
Efforts to let go, I'll try not to show you my faces.

Stable hands in turpentine.
