Record Tracklist

  1. Precipice -:-- / 4:08

It’s been a weird year
With everything all slowed down
I can see how weird it is
That I’ve never stepped off this merry-go-round

The illusion of moving
Imagined because of the speed
Promised that it would get me there
It never took me to where I need

But at least the path was known
That’s how running in circles goes

This is the year that we found out
We’ve been living on a precipice
We can’t afford to slip
And so we don’t, we don’t look down
We fix our eyes on the sky
Our arms and our hearts open wide
This is how we’ve always survived

Making me dizzy
Suddenly still for a change
And I can see with widened eyes
The precarious landscape of this place

The imminent danger
The fragile existence of life
The catalyst to becoming something new
Like it’s been since the dawn of time

We’re always leaving what came before
And reaching out for something more

This is the year that we found out
We’ve been living on a precipice
We can’t afford to slip
And so we don’t, we don’t look down
We fix our eyes on the sky
Our arms and our hearts open wide
This is how we’ve always survived

We’re not going back to normal
All that came before has died
We know that our path goes forward
This is how we’ve always
