Tethered, don't let me go
Landmarks in the scenery left behind
Well tread path I cannot ever veer from
Almost to the future, fingers bare and worn
(Reach it, take it, make it)
Crawling to a new one, still your hands have hold
(Reach it, take it, make it)
Landfall, leave this vessel far behind
Abdicate with unrestraint this lost shore
Chasing after the setting sun
The dusk sets deeper when you've lost someone
And the clock conspires against everyone, but you know that there's work yet to be done
I won't rest until we are one
Such injustice to take you home
Phantoms tethered solidly inside
Calling with a welcome warm and bright
I fall for the same old lines, they get me every time
...And forward, is it better to stand still than loop around
To the same dark landscape, same familiar ground
Landmarks in the scenery left behind
The vibrant colors fade to black and white
Lost spark, a fragility that hides
Lost in the frightened corners of plain sight
