lyrics

Build your cold calculations like
Towers toward heaven above
There in the balance of everything
You pray that your numbers add up
Pray that your numbers add up

You say heaven is falling down
Crushing the world with its weight
But if push came to shove you'd keep
Holding the sky in its place
Holding the sky in its place

So it goes
You say fire, but all I see is smoke
So it goes
You say fire, but all I see is smoke

Tell yourself it's a story book
Built out of lies from the deep
But if these dragons aren't fairy tales you're
Selling your sons to the beast
Selling your sons to the beast

If you're holding out for perfect truth
Then there's nothing left I can say
Maybe there's something that's sacred in
Waiting to be swept away
Waiting to be swept away

So it goes
You say fire, but all I see is smoke
So it goes
You say fire, but all I see is smoke

If I knew every consequence
I might watch the world fan the flames
'Cause maybe the only redemption is
Burning the bridge to escape
Burning the bridge to escape
Burning the bridge to escape
Burning the bridge, burning the bridge
Burning the bridge, burning the bridge

So it goes
You say fire, but all I see is smoke
So it goes
You say fire, but all I see is smoke

Ian Galipeau Keene, New Hampshire

I write songs about ideas and characters I find interesting. I've always been fascinated by the grey areas in life, and writing music is one of the best ways I've found to explore the nuances.
