lyrics

tell the story once again, we'll take our time because it's ours. as the light begins to bend, stand so still and spread your arms.

know this string will grow, as tired hands sew the strands right into place and young muscles will pull so hard and sing along to songs that echo from the caves.

avert your eyes from turmoil and lights. you're not the last of your kind.

i believe you. i feel the line from knot to knot and make it mine. don't worry about them. keep your eyes on your hands and your friends.
avert
your eyes from turmoil and lies. we're not the last of our kind.
