lyrics
Go light on the walls, you won't need them for long
Down the well you fall, under the cover of every coin you caught
and held your breath in too long
holding onto all the gold you could touch
You spent your spirit on a loan for something you could touch
while long extended hands made amends with the bodies they had left
and known for such short increments
And all of this was innocent
We built a well to make them wish
and covered up every inch that you won't miss
for long
But I wasn't there to build a wall, just windows over all you saw
to keep them there so we could stare, 'cause we were sitting after all
Left in a box but you won't know since you'll never try to grow
into anything that wouldn't fit, that touched the glass, that wasn't inside
Before too long, we'll cover up our mouths and say it to our hands
and no one else. We'll leave our work locked up for years to collect dust
and show we don't need all these walls to be windows
But you're always reaching down the well, falling for every coin that fell
and when you climbed up with pockets full, all your world had turned to gold
and where were you, you should have known, you shrug and drop an empty wish back down
Down the well you fall, under the cover of every coin you caught
and held your breath in too long
holding onto all the gold you could touch
You spent your spirit on a loan for something you could touch
while long extended hands made amends with the bodies they had left
and known for such short increments
And all of this was innocent
We built a well to make them wish
and covered up every inch that you won't miss
for long
But I wasn't there to build a wall, just windows over all you saw
to keep them there so we could stare, 'cause we were sitting after all
Left in a box but you won't know since you'll never try to grow
into anything that wouldn't fit, that touched the glass, that wasn't inside
Before too long, we'll cover up our mouths and say it to our hands
and no one else. We'll leave our work locked up for years to collect dust
and show we don't need all these walls to be windows
But you're always reaching down the well, falling for every coin that fell
and when you climbed up with pockets full, all your world had turned to gold
and where were you, you should have known, you shrug and drop an empty wish back down
