Choosing your own path is such a thrill
And traveling alone has benefits
Chasing your own tail, disheartening
Can’t be worse than all and be standing still
Shoulders widely moving on
Deception that has yet to come
Claw your way inside
This shelter made of glass Hide yourself away
This storm is here to prey On the Hour spent
Gazing at the wrong sights That will lead you far astray
Never cut anything loose,
As heavy as it gets, it might serve you well
Can’t you just pretend ?
Shoulders widely moving on
Deception that has yet to come
Claw your way inside
This shelter made of glass
Hide yourself away
This storm is here to prey
On the Hour spent
Gazing at the wrong sights
That leads you far astray and far behind
Burn down crooked bridges and never look behind again
Maybe then you’ll find a friend that will help you move ahead
