Description
What does it mean to be lost in inertia? writers blocks? the absence of a spark to move yourself forward? What does it mean to face the fact that there are certain aspects of yourself that are pliable and will bend, and others that are hard and will only break if you try put pressure on them? Are we not at times, lost between the two? ( i.e. the wood and strings).
Lyrics
Verse 1 I am a wire, waiting for a hammer to strike up the sound within me. Like a piano made of only wood and strings I remain silent, unless pressed gently. I am a blind man with a map in his hand I am a sailor with no sight of free land I am a promise given by a crooked man who tells his lover he is true. Chorus I am lost i am lost I am lost somewhere between the wood and the strings Verse 2 There is a canyon that stretches out for a mile between the things I do and the dreams I defile And I find I'm always walking a thin wire Looking for home between the two Chorus Bridge Burn me up, break my strings. Let the ruins of the song within me sing. For my compass is pointing due south and my truth is absolute within its doubt. Chorus
