lyrics

i want just this nothing more, a key in hand to every door
i came to life in a room i could never afford
this is the light that they gave
peace in the heart of a maze
no wilderness, desert or sea just the spaces we tamed

i’ve been alright, not sweating the why
for all that i know this is where the day ends up at night
i'm tempted to say, i like it this way
how every breath keeps the promise we otherwise break

here is the might that we may
a storm in the calm of a cave
no reasons to leave save the reasons there are not to stay
truth is that i lost the pulse, that for years led us sheep to the wolf
though to be feasted upon was a pleasure i’ll cherish the most

i’d venture out, so much i lost count
watching the moon trickle out from the sides of their mouths
got lost in the buzz, of what never was
so being alone in this bar makes me happy because...it does

watching it all go to ghost, with our toes in the water, toes in the water oh
finally hitting that note, with the music no longer, music no longer on
