Thin White Rope - On The Floe lyrics

There is a bar where everyone I know We talk about osme things we don't begin to know We're smart enough to realize we got no business here But not smart enough to rise above our bitterness and fear There is a bridge they're afraid to complete Creatures walk on it wearing ruts with their feet That long-ago someone has broken their hearts They watch without seeing as we exit the bar Seems to me we are stranded on the floe Watching distant shorelines as we go There is a song so hard to steer I thought it would capsize in bitterness and fear I look to the sky when I'm tired of the sea Constellations are moving, they're useless to me And it seems we've been stranded on the floe Watching distant shorelines as we go
