Lyrics The Apologist - East Of The Wall

The Apologist

Bound to kneel.
Bound to go awry
Condemned to argue until we die
Bound to feel something more than I
Pulled through stumbling
Can’t you find your way gone?
Thought the bough was able
Thought the height was scale, and the vertigo’s draw
Would show clemency, not scorn.
Plunging comatose
Lost in those dull words
Bound to feel something more than I
Now we kneel in the breaking light
Respite is fleeting and loss is ours
Let go, now it’s time we fell
Don’t you walk away.
Don’t you walk through a thousand changes
Though the alchemy burns me.
I can’t save you, but I would argue
The morass that we’re swimming in won’t let us catch our breath again
And now we’re sunk
The tide that we’re drowning in rises past our eyes again and now we’re sunk
Don’t you walk without stones.
A lift without a load to pull you over
Don’t you climb without a hold.
Don’t you let go
Can’t you see your days encumbered?
The vast is made of parts
The scope just dots, and we all move the path we’ve drawn
But mine… to walk it is an art, defined by the strong
But I’m unclear this day
