Tether Lyrics by Tantric

Mercury Retrograde

0

You're looking alive
Your smile just seemed much brighter than before
I know you’ll stay for awhile
You'll never let that window show me more

When the window's clouded
You can’t see me anymore
The time that you doubted me
Can't be here like before

Sometimes you gotta let it go
So you can feel much better
Before the things that hold you down
Become the tether

To me is profound the lack of sound
While you scream for something more
Pressing away as we seal our fate
By repeating something more

When the window's clouded
You can't see me anymore
'Times that you doubted me
Can't be here like before

Sometimes you gotta let it go
So you can feel much better
Before the things that hold you down
Become the tether

In this story I'm the little one
The little skinny one, the weaker one
On occasion, I am cumbersome
In the world that you feel welcome on
Maybe you will open up your eyes
Putting all the things you fear aside
Pull the shades so you can see sunlight
Tell the difference between wrong or right, before

Sometimes you gotta let it go
So you can feel much better
Before the things that hold you down
Become the tether

You're looking alive
Your smile just seemed much brighter than before
I know you’ll stay for awhile
You’ll never let that feeling show me more

Sometimes you gotta let it go
So you can feel much better
Before the things that hold you down
Become the tether
