Spires Lyrics

Umphrey's Mcgee Spires

You ask for a reason, I say why
It tastes like treason outside
I've been retreating in rewind

Born in believing my right
There is no seething inside
I need to change this frame of mind

If I fall I'll end all
We've been retreating, press rewind
If I fall I'll end all

I ask for meaning, you say why
More than deceiving you'll try
I've been retreating, you don't mind

Born in believing my right
There is no seeing inside
We're just a story to reread, not to rewrite

And the echo of a voice leaves you with no choice
When you should stay out
The sun it seems is lifted from my dreams
A better way to scream when you can't shout

What's done is done, it's true for everyone
And frequency becomes the subject around you
So that's so plain, is the meaning still the same
When everyone complains the blame is on you?

If I fall I'll end all
We've been retreating, press rewind
If I fall I'll end all
