(we are not the first ) To call it like we (just can't see past the lines that we) Never drew, (by tradition)
We all take part in these, and I never would have figured My conscience would lead me astray
Cause when they call I wouldn't be listening And when they fall, I'm flat on my feet
Understand, the boundaries that bound me Cannot withstand the wake of my will The strength of my hand Break this habit of keeping your hands to yourself Just wishing that somebody would help Be the good that you wish for Be the guard on your shoulder Move my moving parts Through the vines of this network Watch me move
I could stay and leave this alone But I will face this fork in the road I will bare the wake of my own volition Never to regret my humble intent
When it happens and their legs lock Be the one to balance out their shock
I know I have come to know The bravest lie that these skies can show Where cowards hide and wandering eyes Are found alight and bright upon the fault line But I can show where my heart is and I know where to find The lights that come alive Cause we all hope to shine, so we bat our eyes At our own demise At the bottom line
Where our hearts won't grow, our breath won?t let My teeth fail to show so just follow my lead And look before you leap But don't just stand and watch me
Well if I can get to my feet then I can Get to the stars so I have a hand in How they shine and how they align I will not reshape my prints for My heart is heaviest With holes to fill.
