lyrics

Kristoff Krane:
There’s nothing to know ‘ There’s no one to miss
The longer I roam the colder it gets
Alone ‘ Slowly I grow with a hole in my chest the size of my head

Joe Horton:
No
Something I said opened it up
Wandered inside ‘ Nowhere to climb
Level the mountain ‘ Sever the spine
Only the fountain rusted and dry

Kristoff Krane:
Yes
Death to the sky ‘ Hope that it lift
Face to my knees ‘ I’m covered in dirt
It’s only a moment to focus within
and the moment I leave is to know what I chose

Joe Horton:
No other option ‘ Offered the throne
Broke as a promise covered in gold
Untangle the rope ‘fore it strangles the only
remainder of home that I knew from the search

Chorus (Both):
Take it in ‘ Breathe it out
Let the sparrows in your house
Show ‘em where the attic is and let ‘em be to set up shop
Watch ‘em sing ‘ While you dance
While you cook and while you break shit
Never let ‘em go ‘ It’s their escape
They’re escaping

Bridge (Both):
There’s a blackbird sitting on a telephone wire
He couldn’t fly away because his wings were really tired
But he knew he had a family that missed him very much
Pretty soon he will be back ‘ Pretty soon he will be back

Joe Horton:
Back back back back
Back to the strap me down the tree
Front to the trunk ‘ Hands up the leaves
Stand ‘ Squeeze the last of the sunlight streams
between the man that I am and the sea ‘
Wanted to be ‘ drifted away
Stay ‘ Follow your legs
Wherever they take you it’s better that way ‘
I’ll send you a kiss if you wish it away ‘

Kristoff Krane:
The way ‘ the way it sways in the wind
I lay all day awake ‘ Afraid constrained shake in my aging skin
There’s no way out ‘ No way to repair
No faith ‘ Naked again ‘ Ashamed
Nothing to blame ‘ I make believe I made a rainbow
Watched it for a heavy ‘ six side of each slave
to free us all completely ‘ but entangled obsolete
Play fair ‘ weak ‘ arms to feet ‘ naïve
Hard to reach ‘ I’m hardly me ‘
Please I come to leave

[Breathe it out]

Chorus (Both):
Take it in ‘ Breathe it out
Let the sparrows in your house
Show ‘em where the attic is and let ‘em be to set up shop
Watch ‘em sing ‘ While you dance
While you cook and while you break shit
Never let ‘em go ‘ It’s their escape
They’re escaping
