messiah

as i stand

i'm not a messiah

so take me down back to the ground

i'm not your answer

i can't be your escape

you've raised me up

i'm in the sky

don't be surprised when i can't deliver

the pulse you need

this old machine

don't be surprised

when i can't deliver

a heaving breath

mountain of steam

there may be gaps

my words may be broken

in spite of this

give me your hand

i will not lift you but i can guide you

i'll be your shadow

you'll be the light

a balance will settle between us

you'll be the body

i'll be the spine
