  • Listen, it's hard to say
    Consequence tied my tongue
    Life wasn't made for one
    Icons will rise and tank
    Pennies in jars of clay
    Heaviest fragile beast
    Further ahead than me

    I've got so far to go
    So give my soul some peace
    Suffer what it means
    On some other plane
    Wisdom left me blind
    With nothing I could teach
    The substance of my mind
    The gates of shame and spite
    Open to me

    Over the side toss coins
    Parisian fountain street
    Wishes and lies compete
    Moss on a rolling stone
    A rising star in chains
    Colder than bars of gold
    Hoping the ropes will hold

    Why not just let go?
    The stakes are not my own
    On Formentera beach
    Why not walk away?
    Take a sober stroll
    And free my childhood dream
    Before my hour is up
    Time stamp my release
    Today it's over
