Listen Lyrics

Verse 1. I know of a mountain as high as our fears rise
And clothed of the many golden dresses of the same lies
And its first wrinkle settles in the cell where the why died

And the bait is taken in the cell where the why died
And leaves us hooked and hanging high and dry

And the letter of the law rules while its spirit dies
Every shortcut leads us then to the cell where the why died
So did the why die so we can merely survive?
