lyrics

Didn’t you climb the tree when you were a child
Falling off the branches many times
You just stood there all night
Wondering what is higher, maybe there’s a father
In the night that shines so bright beyond.
One day you would jump across the pond
Only you

I heard a voice
Call me Out
Pantomime
Here I am
I flail my arms
Hear me now
I scream my name
Here I am

Every halloween disguise,
Every small step up unto this point in your life.
Rooted in that spine was fear
The fear that keeps you up at night all night,
Until the edge of time

Maybe I can see a freer world that leaves behind all greed

In the dark expanse so bright beyond
Lies that friendly floating piece of stone
Only you
