These feet have carried me as far as I will go
Across the field to where the wind had ceased to blow
That day, when sorrow filled the air and all the blackbirds scattered everywhere
And you had gone as far as you would go
In my reflection, you are staring back at me
My eyes are mirrors of the dreams you used to see
But now I'm fumbling in the dark, where all the memories are far apart
And there I lost the forest for the trees
In the gloaming of the day, the words are darkening away
Take another look
There's no more pages in this book
The epilogue was written in the dirt
The story's at an end
It's time to put away my pen
And join the you by the earth
There was a tremble in the marrow of my bones
Distorted and contorted like a worn out megaphone
And through the bellow and the bluster, I was shaking, I was flustered
With a body full of star-crossed chromosomes
And through the clatter there emerged a single voice
A familiar sound I hadn't heard since I was just a boy
And all at once my fears were lifted as the echoes slowly drifted
To the center of the amplifying void
And I followed like a child, so carefree and so wild
[Chorus]
Well there's music everywhere
The voices carry through the air
But I'm not listening

Every single person you have ever feared
Who made you want to hide away and disappear
Who laughed at your misfortune and then called you weird
Theyre mostly just bags of water
The kid who broke your glasses in the second grade
Who took your lunch money in the playground shade
Who made you feel helpless and so afraid
Theyre mostly just bags of water
All the people on the street, are just skin upon the meat
With a scaffolding of bone and sinew
Its a beautiful machine, but its lipids and proteins
And carbohydrates locked within you
So when you want to talk to the girl down the block
And youre scared of feeling like a stalker
Just remember that you both, underneath your fancy clothes
Are only just bags of water
The girl who you took to the senior prom
Who went to freshen up but then she took so long
The guy you found her kissing in the parking lot
Theyre both just bags of water
The driver in the semi in the passing lane
Whos backing up the traffic all the way to Spain
The cop who pulls you over when you drive like a Saint
Are mostly just bags of water
[Chorus]
Before you start, to think youre smart
And different from the rest
Like theres something deep and so unique
Thats hiding in your flesh
Dont forget that you
are a bag of water too
[Chorus]
I remember the snow
From times so long ago
All stacked in piles, that went up for miles in the air
Id climb right up to the top
The tallest kid on the block
Did the piles get smaller, did I get taller
Did everything just shrink away
I cant remember the change
But everything has rearranged
Every day
Theres something that goes away
Its leaking like a faucet
I never knew I lost it
Until I wake up old and grey
And every day
I wake up and see my face
The reflection is familiar
Just dustier and blurrier
Till suddenly a stranger shakes my hand
The one-way arrow of time
You can choose to ignore the sign
But you dont get to do the driving, or know when youre arriving there
The seconds, minutes and days
They pass with a gentle pace
But suddenly stack up
Watchin as we rack up
The changes that we never see
But we are never the same
Dont blink your eyes or you might miss it
[Chorus]
You cant chase the breeze cuz youre never gonna catch it
Cant stop the seas, when the waves come crashing
Cant hold your dreams when the sunlight fills the room
When youre asleep, when youre awake
The sum of every breath you take
Invisible, but slowly multiplied
[Chorus x 2] Josh Woodward: Evolution (Official Video)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XO4ggUyQpWI/mqdefault.jpg)
