Feathers - Barbed Wire Lyrics

Short circuit, short circuit your instinct
Reach out, into the space between

Walk the streets at night, wide awake
Remember when, when this was built
Things would be better, they'd say, for your sake
Cast the other out, cast aside the guilt

The ghost, of fear outside
Has caged your heart with barbed wire
For greed, blame the other
But inside, will you ever be free?

Short circuit, short circuit your instinct
Reach out, into the space between

Run from certainty, it writhes inside
You flinch then, then is it real?
It never got better, it stays, you comply
Throw their ideal out, overcome their will

The ghost, of fear outside
Has caged your heart with barbed wire
For greed, blame the other
But inside, will you ever be free?

If it takes forever to make it right
Will we come undone?
If it can't be changed, will you
Tear it down, tear it down with me?

In a world so connected
How can we be so confined?
Do we want a painful truth
Or just a blissful lie?

The ghost, of fear outside
Has caged your heart with barbed wire
For greed, blame the other
But inside, will you ever be free?

Short circuit, short circuit your instinct
Reach out, into the space between
