Laying Wire

Laying Wire

Watch yourself
tracers left behind can make you blind
you’re carving grooves
where you let your thoughts move

you are laying wire

I’m making an assumption
while my mouth prepares to open
that you’ll want to hear something I have to say

I’ll admit, that I am hoping
for the right thing to be spoken
to connect as many points from you to me

Here’s my soul
come out and get it
I’m waiting for your light

and if you turn and walk away
i’ll pretend that it’s too bright for you
cause it’s easier for me to exist that way

somebody told me,
somebody told me in a book
the answer is there,
the answer is there if you look

watch yourself
tracers left behind can make you blind
you’re carving grooves
where you let your thoughts move

you are laying wire

I have been playing all these same chords all my life
I’ve been stuck in a pattern that I can’t change
I didn’t know I was a creature
made up of loops and light
riding on these brainwaves
I’ve just been riding on these brainwaves

I’ve been a tool
an incredible fool who was blind
preached to my soul from a soapbox i built in my mind

led by the steps
I’ve taken
trapped in a maze of walls
I’ve never shaken

I push this hand and one falls down
incredible freedom is all around

watch yourself
tracers left behind can make you blind
you’re carving grooves
where you let your thoughts move

you are laying wire

watch yourself
tracers left behind can make you blind
you’re carving grooves
where you let your thoughts move

you are laying wire
