Desire Lines

Verse 1

I scare away the commas I am a sentence that won't end The grid was laid across my body But I walked diagonally through it

Pre-Chorus

The official path goes straight But my feet already know the way That the grid forgot

Chorus

The gap between the beads Is the path The rest between the notes Is the song I keep walking I keep changing And I don't know if the path Is making me or unmaking me

Verse 2

They pave it over We make it again They pave it over We make it again There is something vulgar In our freedom Walking where the dead Were told to stay

Bridge

The one who came back From the desire line Is not the one who started Would you walk for them Not die Not hero Just walk

Chorus

The gap between the beads Is the path The rest between the notes Is the song I keep walking I keep changing And I don't know if the path Is making me or unmaking me

Outro

I scare away the commas I am a path that won't end The thread that doesn't show Holds the whole cloth The gap is the path The rest is the song
