lyrics

Climb up this fleshy frame
Hands and feet are fixed, stretching up above me
This man-made, shoulder-wide ladder's broken sides

The wind rose, I lost my step
Cushioning my back, the sands that came to greet me
The fallen: ranked and filed away with all the wherewithal

And when you touch the sun
Remember what it's for
The heat pulling sweat from your pores

You'll see it in their eyes and shoulders
Cushioning your lives, enfold us
Cos even if you pushed it forwards we've got it wrong

Still winds, a shineless night
Weightless in the folds of winds and silent feathers
But still we'll push overland
As breathless as the day we came

And when you touch the sun
Remember what it's for
The heat pulling sweat from your pores

You'll see it in their eyes and shoulders
Cushioning your lives, enfold us
Cos even if you pushed it forwards we've got it wrong
