lyrics

dislodge the hands that hold the reigns
replaced with those that tend the manes
tender and calloused as they’re worn
brush the dirt along the crease
feeling your way down the seams
the threads catch slow like thorns
the silver rope stretched down the slope
the silver rope keeps stretching down the slope
here upon the cayenne ground
purpose distorted as we shift hoofbound
as this weight is not our own
moving on we discard the packs
that were forced upon our backs
find reflection in sun bleached bone
the silver rope stretched down the slope
the silver rope keeps stretching down the slope
until it breaks, until it breaks
reeling in as we cross the bridge
shaded faces stare along the ridge
defying our will to pass
what was used to keep us bound
is what I watch you hang from now
the silver fading down to black.
until it breaks, until its cut
until its over, until its enough
no more slack for the silver rope.
