lyrics

I wish I could take off this lens
See the world for what it really is
I wish I could take off this lens

When I was twelve I saw the world
In broken patterns of black and white
Afraid of nothing but those disapproving looks
When you turned 25 I thought
That you’d given into selfish gains
But I saw you shift and rise above the frame
Shifting tides turned down

When I moved out and took that trip
Headed east with all my things
I couldn’t see ahead but knew no other way
When you closed your eyes and took off
Into that fateful plunge
You told me, friend, just wait and see
How it might be
Shifting tides, black hole

Every doubt is a threat
Every thread gets pulled
Every step you take alone
Is a step that leads back home
