lyrics

salvage what you'd known, before the day
you signed the loan, gave away
all the things from birth you'd owned

for some mighty gift to be known

even if:
from the start, you came down the barrel speaking of the heart
thinking you were a dove, maybe some great storybook hero

but how could anything ever be known? with a pseudonym, friend,
under covers?

salvage what you'd known, before the day
you signed the loan, gave away
all the things from birth you'd owned

for some mighty gift to be known

even if:
you've been dealt a hand full of unlucky contradictions,
better raise that hand, be counted with the characters you've written.

stand up straight within the caves your heroes dance in, Oh!

salvage what you'd known, before the day
you signed the loan, gave away
all the things from birth you'd owned

for some mighty escape to be found

a ladder, after all
is just a ladder, after all

that could bring you to no sense of peace, Oh!

salvage what you you'd known, etc.
