New Round Songtext / Lyric

When the oceans are dark

the heavens are foreboding

the chainlink wind is breaking you open

and the lessons of the day

on the blackboard of night

seem to be erased

and the beacon has no light

and the eyes of confusion

are looking far astray

from everything you needed

to keep the dogs at bay

there's no escape hatch

no submarine

that could take you to the moon

rake you in the leaves

and keep you just as safe

as you are in my hands

that someday, someday say bye bye



bye and bye and bye and bye






smaller than a stone

bigger than a road

farther than an ocean

closer than a soul

every little word

and every little step

every new direction

the closer you will get

and farther away

you'll go from where we are

and try to keep it with you

and hold it like starling

from a frozen lake

to a hollow moon

push yourself beyond

the wall they carved for you

and when you bring it down

with all their false eyes

when you've made it yours

don't forget its yours



bye and bye and bye and bye
