[Verse 1]
Listen, it's hard to say
Consequence tied my tongue
Life wasn't made for one
Icons will rise and tank
Pennies in jars of clay
Heaviest fragile beast
Further ahead than me
[Chorus 1]
I've got so far to go
So give my soul some peace

The gates of shame and spite
Open to me

Wishes and lies compete
Moss on a rolling stone
A rising star in chains
Colder than bars of gold
Hoping the ropes will hold
[Chorus 2]
Why not just let go?
The stakes are not my own
On Formentera beach
Why not walk away?
Take a sober stroll
And free my childhood dream
Before my hour is up
Time stamp my release
Today it's over
[Outro]
