lyrics

He is taking his time, he is dragging it out, he his holding his tongue to dampen the drought. He is stepping with precision, he is slipping his mind, he trips and falls but he's not that kind. Kick the door, break the window, shattered hearts in the glass. Shadows grow as the sun sets deep in the grass. All he wants is the pages from the book of his life the cover's torn, but the spine's held together with spite running hard from the roads that have gathered to chase. His only solace is believing he can pick his own pace.

Reality's illusion is breaking the fall, but if these woods don't thin I don't think I can make it at all.

The fire in his soul soon burns through his chest. The worst is that he wonders if it's all for the best and as the walls begin to warm they are closing in fast. Contracting and subtracting from a moment surpassed, Escaping from emotions that had fed him a thrill he'll find this broken compass at the crest of the hill.

Reality's illusion is breaking the fall, but if these woods don't thin I don't think I can make it all. And with a sky so empty and a ground so full I've been riding this river down, but it's taking its toll.
