lyrics

Walk away
Bony as the day in Spring
Funny how the church bells sing
Redemption is Living

In opposites
Polar to the cross that sits
Fleeting like accomplishments
Encompass direction

And do you worry
There'll be no one left to
Take your posturing
Call it suffering
It's no use wondering
What could have been

Like before the golden goat
Like before the engine broke
Knuckles in a ball of knots
Cradling a can of coke
Find me in the same old place
Steady in a picture frame
Begging you to walk away

Confidence
Was the assessment even accurate
You could've stopped me and
You almost did
Thanks for the warning

So walk away
To the light that frames your face
A shadow over better days
Before the informing

And do you worry
There'll be no one left to
Take your suffering
Call it interesting
Perfect posturing
Anti-everything
Wedding bells
Warning signs
It's no use wondering
What could've been

Walk away
Silly is a tiny word
It slivers underneath your shirt and
Twists like a thorn in your side

So walk away
Sorry is an almost thing
Quick to clip your anger's wings
A hiccup in your take-off and landing
