This is an acoustic version of this tune, pared right down. Recorded at The Den.

lyrics

As the tale is told
As the dream unfolds
As the tension grows
While I'm growing older

Sometimes I think it's damned
And that misery's part of the plan

I believe when it comes down to it
I'll retrieve you from the bottom of it
Oh Lord, If I run out of time
I'll make a break for the final mile.

If my legs are tired
And my passion is all but mired
And each obstacle waits
To pollute my emotions with hating what we are

I believe when it comes down to it
I'll retrieve you from the bottomless pit
Oh Lord, If I run out of fire
I'll make a break for the final mile.

If my soul is lost
And my spirit is drowned by the cost
If I don't feel that my body is loaned
If I own anything, then I am owned.
