lyrics

A dense spark can animate and hand out fate
So plans we make are subject to change in ways that we would never have anticipated or prepared to face
The embrace of the give and take fits all shapes
It builds up just to break and repeat again

Roads stretch from sight
Home left behind
No exit signs to show which steps to climb

A dense spark can exacerbate, aggravate and channel hate or the love that we chase, embrace, negate or choose not to participate in for sake of saving face
The embrace of the give and take shifts its weight and lifts just as it has tossed away

A dense spark can incinerate, extinguish flames, then spin the blades back around to beginning stages
Be fulfilled or else eviscerated
Decisions wait
The embrace of the give and take digs the slate to carve what's been done in the empty space

Dirt and leaves displayed
Perfectly arranged
Shades of peace and hope
They will lead you home

Post up
Progress
Prepare
Proceed
