It started with my fingers started in the marrow
Started like a shiver, started in the tips of my toes
It's every secret set out like an arrow bound for something bigger
Better shot the sooner you go
What's the name of this aching
Our hearts are bending and breaking
We're throwing punches throwing weight around
Lying in wait to sound the call to bring the hammer down
But nothing is working
Though we cry and we beg, we're still hurting
With our heads in our hands we're dropping to the ground
Giving up all our vows, wond'ring where to go from now

We're kneeling on the edge of the hallowed wide
Lay your dearest doubts on the pyre when you throw your soul inside
Close your eyes and open every clouded window you can find
Where the mist meets the missing and the oldest bones are living
Casting an echo from the hallowed wide
Leave your fears behind and step inside

It started with my fingers started in the marrow
Started like a shiver, started in the tips of my toes
It's every secret set out like an arrow bound for something bigger
Better shot the sooner you go
What are these words I'm hearing
What is the name of this feeling
The story cutting through the ugly noise clearing the hum in our ears
Tells us that  it's ours to hear
We see the lies we've been dealing
We can try, but a cry doesn't heal it
We hold our breath and wait until the little voice
Beating the drums in our ears, says we're finally here

We're standing on the edge of the hallowed wide
Lay your dearest doubts on the pyre when you throw your soul inside
Close your eyes and open every clouded window you can find
Where the mist meets the missing and the oldest bones are living
Casting an echo from the hallowed wide
Leave your fears behind and step inside

It started with my fingers started in the marrow
Started like a shiver, started in the tips of my toes
It's every secret set out like an arrow bound for something bigger
Better shot the sooner you go
Into the haze, make your way tempting fate to follow
What leap of faith will it take to rebuild tomorrow
Cling to the quaking, the shaking what was safe is hollow
Wade in the flames, wide awake, blaze into the unknown
Suffer your claim, share the blame 'til you don't want to let go
Focus the frame, change your shape 'til you can swallow whole the hallowed wide
Come up to the edge and step inside
