about

No need to explain this song. I think it explains itself.

lyrics

Like a tired animal
that is held in a cage.
Like a mess of scrawl that is
unkempt on the page. Yet …

I have walked every
path that you paved.
I have kept everything that you gave.
And somehow, I was saved by you.

The build of grey that holds up the sky
My adventure fades with the
wetness of an eye. But …

I have walked every
path that you paved.
I have kept everything that you gave.
And somehow, I was saved by you.
