Lyrics Outstretched & Never-Ending - Kevin Devine

Outstretched & Never-Ending

Back to basics
Acting out I’m
Magnetized by the mercy in your mouth a
Kind of violence
Spun around a
Rising sweetness double helix lost and found I
Feel a future
Dissolve to dust in me
Become a blank projection
Another withering
I can’t imagine the way felt from outside
I’m sad I’ll never have to cause I’m inside
Now I’m too far gone
For the deus ex machina
To sweep the stage and rescue what it has to
To fill the frame so there’s no space to ask you
How I’ll move along
Knowing you’re awake and trembling
Outstretched and never ending
Easy does it
But go and do it
Or else the concept
Is pretty useless
So void and vacant
Feeling foolish
Low and lonely
Tricked and toothless
I see a secret
Define a space in me
Become a wildfire
Consuming everything
I can’t imagine
The way it looks from outside
I guess I’ll never have to
Cause I’m inside
Now and too far gone
For the deus ex machina
To sweep the stage and rescue what it has to
To fill the frame so there’s no space to ask you
How I’ll move along
Knowing you’re awake and trembling
Outstretched and never ending
Don’t be ashamed of
The questions you ask
The truth is construct
Mostly you in a mask
Don’t be afraid of
The hole in the sky
God is a lame duck
And everyone dies
Now I’m too far gone
For the deus ex machina
To sweep the stage and rescue what it has to
To fill the frame so there’s no space to ask you
How I’ll move along
Knowing you’re awake and trembling
Outstretched and never ending
