Shaking of the Frame

Lyrics

[Intro: Kurt Travis] Well, I might have to diffuse this one Call the listeners, but they don't speak the same tongue Send me away, you laugh and scoff and spit out false intellect Guess I'll let you have your way this once, for the greater goal of us Sometimes, it's better to let them win to escape the mess [Chorus: Kurt Travis] Just let it go, you already know My faith now is swayed, can trust be remade? This silent fight is worse than a scuffle The same violent night, we both share the struggle Amiss, dismissed You might be right, so take your own advice Just let it go, you already know [Post-Chorus Kurt Travis] Don't write about love No more clichés No more delays [Verse 1: Cory Lockwood] Glass-wristed grasp of my surroundings, and dizzily shuffling forward That's where I'm found: pulled to the sky from the ground And spun 'round, in an aerial court of my peers And stripped down to only skin, bones, and tears And the ever-chugging monolith My inner voice is inviting me to stay here for years I'm wired weird; I've grown wrong And sing the same damn song to the ever-nodding audience Until my body is gone [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: Kurt Travis] Quiet your open thoughts And turn the other way to make grimacing actions And if it's not possible, okay Just stay that way, just stay that way [Instrumental Break] [Chorus: Kurt Travis] Just let it go, you already know My faith now is swayed, can trust be remade? This silent fight is worse than a scuffle The same violent night, we both share the struggle Amiss, dismissed You might be right, so take your own advice Just let it go, you already know [Verse 2: Cory Lockwood] Like frantically rifling through all of your keys There's no wind behind you, but something's moving the leaves This place is familiar; you used to call it your own Now there's nobody home, no, there's nobody home Once a room is empty, it has no need for a name or title And when a glass is empty, someone fills it up or puts it away But when the glass broke, the room spoke in dangerous tones "If it's broken, just leave it alone" [Breakdown: Cory Lockwood, Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] We have to go, we have to go Let the passenger take hold, let the stranger drive you home We have to go, we have to go May this song fill up a hole May the room with no purpose forever be closed [Outro: Cory Lockwood] Although we left in a panic I took a look back at the house Saw it turn on its axis and vanish The dust enveloped the sky, the splinters fell to the earth Swam deep in the soil, and it came back to life It survived, it survived, it survived
