lyrics

i awoke and it was grey out
the stillness of it made me notice
it took a miracle to get here
but still i awoke

the system was down
i was left alone with my thoughts outside
when these outside thoughts come in
i'll drown them out no longer

let's keep our eyes ahead, ok?

21 days to make it nice
these cracks on the sidewalk tell me
i'm moving north
each white stripe falls in line behind me
i'm moving north and drying out

it's ok that the light's gone out
it's ok that the screen's gone black
restless limbs we hurl forward
on the march

let's keep our eyes ahead, ok?

stitch by stitch
step by step
we hurl our restless limbs ahead
it gets easier as you go along

there was sun when i awoke
