When the oceans are dark
The heavens are foreboding
The chain link 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
The eyes of confusion
Eyes of confusion
Are looking far astray
Looking far astray
From everything you needed
Everything you needed
To keep the dogs at bay
Dogs at bay
There's no escape hatch
No escape hatch
No submarine
No submarine
That could take you to the moon
Take you to the moon
Rake you in the leaves
Rake you in the leaves
And keep you just as safe
Keep you just as safe
As you are in my hands
Are in my hands
That someday
That someday
Someday will say bye bye
Someday bye bye bye
Bye
Bye
Bye
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
Farther away
You'll go from where we are
Where we are
And try to keep it with you
Try to keep it with you
And hold it like a starling
Hold it like a starling
From a frozen lake
From a frozen lake
To a hollow moon
To a hollow moon
Push yourself beyond
Push yourself beyond
The wall they carved for you
The wall they carved for you
And when you bring it down
And when you bring it down
With all their false eyes
With all their false eyes
When you've made it yours
When you've made it yours
Don't forget it's yours
Don't forget
Bye
Bye
Bye
Bye
Bye and bye and bye and bye and
Bye and bye and bye and bye and
Bye and bye and bye and bye and bye and bye and bye
