The Sound of Two

Verse 1

Wood

Splintered grain

Old white paint flakes away

Gray clouds gather near the canyon floor

My boots hang

Heavy

Waiting for a sign that never shows

Paralyzed

Petrified

Justified by the fear of being wrong

Chorus

Better to fall

Better to fall than to stay

Better to lose

Better to lose your way

Walking blind

Walking blind

Better to fall than to stay here

Verse 2

Stiff

Aching knees

Iron rust stains my sleeves

The wind picks up and rattles the screen door

Nothing grows

Nothing flows

Waiting for the sky to turn to gold

Salt air

Stale air

Small air that chokes the living lung

Left or right

Day or night

Just pick a path before the sun is gone

Chorus

Better to fall

Better to fall than to stay

Better to lose

Better to lose your way

Walking blind

Walking blind

Better to fall than to stay here

Bridge

A wrong turn is still a turn

A deep burn is still a burn

A hard lesson is still a lesson

Move your feet

Move your heart

Move your mind

Verse 3

Jump

Into the grass

Let the long shadows pass

The wood is cold and lonely on the spine

Running now

Breathing now

Feeling how the gravel bites the sole

Fresh dirt

Real dirt

Red dirt under every fingernail

Chorus

Better to fall

Better to fall than to stay

Better to lose

Better to lose your way

Walking blind

Walking blind

Better to fall than to stay here

Outro

Leave the fence

Leave it all

Let it rot in the rain

Let it rot

Let it rot

Just go
