lyrics

I'm in an open spot so why you running away
There goes my mind what do you want me to say
I'm getting comfortable in a permanent way
Coming back around again to chase it away

I could be comfortable in a million forms
I could see me weathering a million storms
In fact there's only one place that I don't want to go today
You got a reason to leave and now I got a reason to stay

Have you become an instrument in the service of another land
And there's a long long list of sycophants they're gonna tell you that it's where you stand
You poor thing got every limb at the end of a string
You wanted to take the world on but you needed everything

And when you stumble up on a familiar face
It's just two kindred strangers occupying the same space
Taking your time and leaving nothing to fate
They got the message out to you but I guess it came too late

Have you become a citizen in the office of another mind
You can stay and plead your ignorance but you're leaving everything behind
You poor thing got every limb at the end of a string
You wanted to take the world on but you needed everything

And you know that this is how it ends
You had it perfect in your mind but the world left you behind again
How could you not know that it would come to this
When you were having such a good time baby swimming in the morning bliss

Allow me to come back down from an earlier fate
I left my mind in an earlier state
