Lyrics

Drawstring

Sitting across from you

Your hand falls to the side

When you hear the suggestion

You're running from the light

It's the pull of the drawstring

That comes as a surprise

When you're so close to heaven

I'll help you take the dive

I might fall

I might break down

No one

Can outstound you there

How many thoughts

How many wishes going drive

When you loosen your grip

And all your demons got by

With a head full of steam

And a singleness of mind

You'll get into the beach

Make a motion in time

What is

What is not

What is

What is not

Fading falling
