LYRICS

Watch for the reel that set’s so you see
The life you have avoided
May you be bright & keen in your sight
The flame inside you lifting

Who is alive to witness you
Inside your shell so dark & blue?
Is there then a moment when
You lose control and walk in air?

Now I’m sure that you will agree
The only thing in the way is me
The smile I ordered is almost complete
Well, let’s see you try it on

With a match in her hand
She set fire to the land
That she was ripe to leave
Glowing she said don’t be sad that I’ve fled
Turn heads with the tricks that are up your sleeve

The run was broke: I slowed to a crawl
I thought the worst was behind me now
But they stayed strong though I grew tall
The waters that pulled him down
