I'm leaving you today
said the words on the page
and forever recited inside her cage
She tells herself its nothing
nothing but a tear
but when she takes a step
nothing holds her here
Behind a desk he sits and sweats
for the clock to unwind
took the first job that he could find
He tells himself its nothing
just a well paying career
but when he dreams at night
nothing holds him here
restless and uncertain
I cut off all my strings
with the fears that a new town can bring
on narrow beams with loose seams
I begin to disappear
quivering in the dark
as nothing holds me here
the past rests in the copper light
of evening debris
the future waits so patiently
for you to free
so spread out your arms
into the atmosphere
weightless and clear
nothing holds you here
