[Verse 1: Kristoff Krane & Joe Horton]

There's nothing to know, there's no one to miss

The longer I roam the colder it gets

Alone; slowly I grow with a hole in my chest, the size of my head

No, something I said

Open it up, wind it inside

Know where to climb, level the mountains

Severe the spine, only the fountain, rusted and dry

Yes, kept to the sky

Hope to the myths, face to my knees

I'm covered in dirt

It's only a moment to focus within and the moment I leave is to know that it (shows)

No other option

Offer the throne, work is a promise covered in gold

Untangled the rope-force

Tangles the only remainder of home that I've seen on this search


[Chorus: Kristoff Krane & Joe Horton]

Take it in, breathe it out

Let the sparrows in your house

Show them where the attic is and let them be to set up shop

Watch them sing, while you dance

While you're cooking, while you break shit

Never let them go, it's their escape, they're escaping

Take it in, breathe it out

Let the sparrows in your house

Show them where the attic is and let them be to set up shop

Watch them sing, while you dance

While you're cooking, while you break shit

Never let them go, it's their escape, they're escaping


[Instrumental Interlude]


[Bridge: Kristoff Krane & Joe Horton]

There's a black bird sitting on a telephone wire

He couldn't fly away because his wings were very tired

But he knew he had a family and he missed them very much

Pretty soon he would be back, pretty soon he would be back, back, back, back

[Verse 2: Joe Horton & Kristoff Krane]

Back to just strap me down to the tree

Front to the trunk, hands up to the leaves

Stand, squeeze, the last of the sunlight screams in between the man that I am and the seed

Wanted to be, drift it away, stay, follow your legs

Wherever they take you, it's better that way

I'll send you a kiss if you wish it away

The way, the way it sways in the wind

I lay all day awake, afraid, constrained

Shake, in my aging skin

There's no way out, no way to repair

No faith naked again, in shame

Nothing to blame, I make-believe I made a rainbow

Watched it for the heavy six-side of each slave

To free us all completely, but entangled, obsolete

Play fair, weak arms defeat naïve, hard to reach

I'm hardly me, please I come to leave

(Breathe it out)


[Chorus: Kristoff Krane & Joe Horton]

Take it in, breathe it out

Let the sparrows in your house

Show them where the attic is and let them be to set up shop

Watch them sing, while you dance

While you're cooking, while you break shit

Never let them go, it's their escape, they're escaping

Take it in, breathe it out

Let the sparrows in your house

Show them where the attic is and let them be to set up shop

Watch them sing, while you dance

While you're cooking, while you break shit

Never let them go, it's their escape, they're escaping
