Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out in the loading bay light
Watching the fog recede
Divided the flame you slowly gave to me
[Verse 2]
Sign of relief in my mind
But I only caught you the one time
Later I'd watch you and wonder what it was like
[Verse 3]
How do you bear the full weight?
How does the long way feel?
Kneading your hand too tight against the wheel
[Verse 4]
How do you stay in that tower?
How do you reckon your own power?
How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?
[Verse 5]
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take
[Verse 6]
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take
[Verse 7]
How do you bear the full weight?
How does the long way feel?
Kneading your hand too tight against the wheel
[Verse 8]
How do you stay in that tower?
How do you reckon your own power?
How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?
[Verse 9]
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take now
[Verse 10]
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take now
[Verse 11]
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take now
[Verse 12]
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take now
[Verse 13]
How do you stay in that tower?
How does the long way feel?
How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?
[Verse 14]
(I was thinking my mind was made)
(All, all that I could take)
