Rubber Band
[Intro]
If you thought freedom
Meant escape…
And that all heroes wear capes
You might not like
what I have to say.
But I'm going to say it anyway.
[Verse 1]
You pulled against the silence
Thinking distance made you free
Every mile you left behind
Was marked up as a victory
Every bridge you burned
Every river you crossed
Every broken promise
Every pattern embossed
Converged together
At a single point of time
Like when stars collide
And the planets align
Lighting up a stretch of sky
In a never ending lullaby
Never stopping once
To wonder…
Why...
Why…
Why….
[Bridge]
It's an entangled system
You can stretch it in your hand
To the very edge of breaking
But the moment you let go
All that stored-up potential
Comes racing back
To Eden…
To the place
Where life began.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every choice has coordinates
Every path has its place
Every step has an outcome
Written into space
[Chorus]
It's designed to be unbreakable
Imperishable by your hands
It never forgets its original shape
Because return...
Is always part of the plan.
[Interlude]
[Verse]
You can call it independence
Announce that you found a ‘way’
While the architect keeps smiling…
Waiting patiently for judgement day
Every step increases tension
Though you never saw the strain
Ignoring all the warning signs
And the ever-growing pains
Only to arrive
at an inevitable conclusion
That power was never in your hand
And that all you were ever stretching...
Was an unbreakable
rubber band.
[Outro]
