Lyrics
A Life of Possibilities
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You dig down underground now
Through the soil, through the cooling clay
As the din fades above you
You're moving, you're secret
You're nowhere it's all good
And no lights lead you onwards
No signs point you on your way
Just earth in all directions
It's endless, it's mapless
No compass, no north star
You're all gone 'cause they can't find you
You're lost 'cause they don't know the way
They blame themselves they blame each other
They're angry, they're sorry
They're worried, you don't care
The shovels scrape somewhere up there
They just want to know if you're OK
Morse code tapped with hammers
You hear it, you know it
Ignore it, you're on your way
Oh, but at some point you've gotta come up for air
You wipe the rocks and mud and dirt out of your hair
You're blind and queasy with a growing sense of despair
You don't know anyone
You look around trying to find someone you know
You put your hand up in the air just kinda wave hello
But if they do care, oh, they're not letting it show
This can't be new to you
There's a feeling coming back
Connected by a thread
Pulling at your hands like a spider web
Like a kite that isn't there…
If it's a life of possibilities
That pulls you away that claws and tears
And challenges you to stay, well, then
If it's a life of possibilities
That you've gotta live then
Don't be surprised when they don't remember you
Or simply don't want to, yeah yeah yeah
