I want to dance like I did when I, when I was a kid. I had, I had no idea that it would ever leave I have been without you so long, so long You shall be released in the, in the greatest of songs You shall be released, the kid I used to be, I’ve been lying to you for too long. The love is too strong. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but i had the guts to take it out And eat off the floor instead of the plate of restless discontent He’s been eating off the floor since he, since he, since he was born He said, he said, he was “dealt a bad hand, the world has a plan and it doesn’t like fuckers like me, but they love you” Well you can’t count on rain days to get things done You done have forever to get things done You can’t count on rain days to do what you want You don’t have forever, so get yer shit together I want to dance like I did when I, when I was a kid. I had, I had no idea that it would ever, that it would ever leave I have been without you so long, so long You shall be released in the, in the greatest of songs You shall be released, I’ve been lying to you for too long

My name is David, this cup of coffee won’t explain me but time will show you who I am. I’ve done well with what I’ve done, but just like everyone I have to progress. Illegal means of living made my life. A true entrepreneur: I adapt and act on where I see a gap. I make living easier for you, you make it a living for me I have no trade, just the friends that I make. The plants grow in my basement. I grow on trees my dollar bills. My girlfriend used to love what i do and now my wife says its time for something new. My name is David, I’m vague to my neighbours and a mystery to my mom and dad. Visitors in and out of my home confuse my child. You can’t raise them on unreported income and unrelated aunts and uncles, so here’s my plan. That’s Brad hangin board in my living room, that’s Brad workin off a debt. My new tiles from Italy and that debt is forgiven with me. The plants grow in my basement. I grow on trees my dollar bills. My girlfriend used to love what i do, now my wife says its time for something new. My name is David. No need to be so flashy, you just need to be functional.

I’m on the eve of an arctic winter, 9 months long, 3 of those without sunlight, a long way from home I’m writing you a letter, I’ll put it in a jar and drop it in the icy sea. I set my homing pigeon free. Send out a sled full of men to find the supply left behind. We’re here for the next year at the limits of our kind. I’m on the eve of an arctic winter, 9 months long, 3 of those without sunlight, a long way from home Politician prince wants to get his fingerprints on the limits of our own existence. So we all risk our lives not for vanity or pride, it’s not the money its the sense of adventure. I’d rather die making a living than live making a killing doing something that i didn’t believe in. My only fear is not here, its what happens when I arrive back home alive. Well there’s no warm home far, far away for the folks who live out here day to day, year to year. No stone fireplace with a polar bear rug and stories of survival and retreat, its here every year living by hand from the land. I’m on the eve of an arctic winter, 9 months long, 3 of those without sunlight, a long way from home. Once we broke through the icy border, the days kept getting shorter but we kept getting brighter spirits. We made the mountains echo our cheers, knowing death was so near, but joy is a matter of comparatives not absolutes. And the money isn’t here, its going to the ones who put me here and I just can’t see myself doing anything else. I’d rather die making a living than live making a killing doing something that i didn’t believe in. I’m on the eve of an arctic winter, 9 months long, 3 of those without sunlight, a long way from home. I’m never going home.

I went fishing the other day, caught some fish and I threw em away. And you wonder why I went on that trip, well if you don’t know then you can’t understand why I had no fish when I came home. I don’t climb this mountain, this mountain climbs me. Through this I find a virtuous mentality. What you don’t do is what’s beyond your grasp. Think of the possibilities in your hands. “Why don’t you go get a job that’ll make you a man?” Every job that I have had burned a hole in my hands. “I know you better than that, you got the whole world in those hands, you just get a little lost along the way, that’s easy for me to say” San Pedro singin in my ear, show me the mountains that move me. What you don’t do, that’s what’s beyond your grasp. Think of the possibilities in your hands.

No matter what you do, it never seems to be enough. No matter what you say, always seem to say too much. Things don’t come easy to me, I take em slow. One day it comes to me and I’ll never let it go. I align myself and then I take a ten thousand fathom dive. You don’t see me for hours but somehow I survive an ocean of love, a body of water of uncertainty, a river of fresh blood flowing through my capillaries. I was a dog with its tail in its mouth, crying “why?”. What wasn’t clear before is now as clear as the sky. Things don’t come easy to me, I take em slow. One day it comes to me and i’ll never let it go. You’ll never burn me out. I got my second wind; I’ve never felt more myself. Put one hand in the air and i clear the bookshelf. Make new friends, make new habits, make me feel like what was wrong is gone and what it was, I never had it. So walk with me my friend, let’s share a case. I’m not looking for love; I just wanna burn in your fireplace. You’ll never burn me out.

Time slips through your fingers like a hand full of sand. Your moment, it won’t linger long. Will you ever let it go? You know you don’t sleep well alone with those thoughts on your mind. Your shy heart does nothing for me now. We’re back where we started, you mean nothing to me now. So don’t deny yourself of what you came here to do. All the alcohol in the world, it won’t help you. When your feet leave the dock and crash into the cold blue every cliché will ring so true. When you know you’ve let it all go, every night you sleep like a stone. I saw you staring at me as I walked by. I know what you’re thinking, I can see it in your eye. So don’t deny yourself of what you came here to do. All the alcohol in the world, it won’t help you. Don’t deny yourself of what you came here to do. Your shy heart won’t help you. You’ve travelled long, you’ve travelled far again. You played the scenes out in your head. You’ve never lost at all, cause you never put it all on the line. Is this how it ends? Don’t deny yourself of what you came here to do. Your shy heart won’t help you. And when you know you’ve let it all go, every night you sleep like a stone. Don’t deny yourself of what you came here to do. Your shy heart won’t help you.
