Spanner (Playlist)

"I find that everything I am is
Everything I should be
I don't need to run away"

"Well I felt no guilt 'til I was caught and I was told that I was guilty
And even then, I wasn't really sure
The thing I felt was guilt itself, though maybe it was something else
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all"

"Run fast and I'll end up exhausted
Out of breath, thinkin' where I went wrong
This heart is afraid to beat slowly
Miss a chance at what I could become
I know that I can't run forever
But I can't stand still for too long
This heart is afraid to beat slowly"

"Elevate the headstrong dead long halo
Caught up in our skin, gotta fight the grind
I can make your day go sun to rainbow
Colour in your step, let me lose your mind
Animate the air with a stone cold question
Do you have the time? Do you hate your life?
Now I'm locking eyes with a silent stranger
Don't run, don't hide"

"It was part of the plan, everbody would stand
On their hind legs, hands holding high the other
Like a tower of brothers, and the one on the top
Would crow warnings and call in the morning
And call out the storm that was coming
The one on the bottom would steer 'til the road was clear
And people would learn to rejoice and to fear our coming"

"Far too great a toll it's played on me
The animal of destiny
I have seen it from afar
Saw its teeth and felt its claws
Felt it ripping me apart
To find my place among the stars"

"Change for better or for worse
Move much deeper to immerse
Drape your spirit in the words
Some kind of ghoul
Small exception to the rule"

"Eyes riddled with lies, telling you why you're alive
If I liked being alone, maybe I'd have some thoughts of my own
Where is the map to
I found it, I want you
To give me your company"

"Patterns form and feel important
The starting lines of a living blueprint
All this information in formation is key
To draw a distinction between waking life and our dreams"

"So call it what you will
What you like
But it's still the same thing
You can take what you need
But you can't
Believe it will remain"
