Artifacts of a Different Possibility

lyrics

There’s a house
surrounded by fields of rye.
And it’s kept like a shrine
to a woman who’s long gone.
But her memory lives on
so she shows her boys the way inside.
First you find your favorite place,
then you imagine a door in the wall,
and you have to break through
the burden of belief.

So we found a door to
find our way home.
And we left the world to
find our way.
And even though we’re all so scared
we will push ourselves on.

Give a man a purpose
watch him chip away.
And if his purpose in violent
the violence turns back on him.

I watched the door in the wall
and I know where these things lead.
Now I can have everything I want,
but all I want to do is see behind
the door in the wall.

Give a man a purpose
watch him waste away.
All he’s got to do.
All he’s got to say.
And all he wants is to hide
The door in him.

So leave these walls as they stand.
We’re all still here together
roaming through these darkened rooms
with our arms held straight out.
