lyrics

Trust is like a golden eagle perching on a branch
Holds his face out to the wind making his feathers dance
If another bird gets close to him he looks back to his nest
Sings out his beak, puffs out his chest

Is he crazy for thinking that I might clip his wings
Is he crazy for thinking that he knows everything?
Because i’m the one who likes to play footsies with the mountains

Resentment is an avalanche looking for a path
Holds on to the peak and hard as she can
If a climber comes on by trying to shake things loose
She rattles at the top and then comes roaring through

Is she crazy for thinking that she cannot hold back
Is she crazy for thinking that she needs to attack
Because I’m the one who likes to play footsies with the mountains
I’m the one who likes to play footsies with the mountains

I like to think my bloodline is thicker than the fog
Blocks my will to fade into the dark
I just sit here like a weakling
Hoping she won’t lose me
Hoping she can use me while she can

Because I’m the one who likes to play footsies with the mountains
I’m the one who likes to play footsies with the mountains
