lyrics

Empty home, constant ache
I have seen the toll it takes
Ringing out like a bell
Gone one day
Not even a farewell

Fragile limbs twist and bend
Always two steps from the end
A delicate porcelain beast
In the wind
Miles above the sea
Lashing with all its teeth
Eyes drawn thin
Ignoring what lies beneath

Something changed the way that I perceive
On the day you fell into the sea
I looked down and finally understood
Just how closely to the edge I stood

Hey, so I noticed the comment you made about the girl who slipped over the edge
Something about how she deserved it for being stupid and Darwinism or whatever
And look, I get it on some level, if you do something dangerous there’s probably going to be consequences
But can you honestly tell me you’ve never gone out on the ledge yourself?
I think maybe you’re afraid to admit how often we’re all up there, and how easy it is to slip
I think maybe you’re afraid to be reminded of that fact
And if you’re thinking “so, if we all slip eventually, why should I mourn those who invite it early?”
It’s because life is a brief, precious mess, and acknowledging that is a hell of a lot better than closing your heart away

Forces swell, then release
Lose the ground beneath your feet
We’re going over the wall
Into grey
You never know when you’ll fall
All you can do is try to find ways to stall
Your return to clay
We’re going over the wall
