๐ Lyrics
Sit and warm up by the fire
The room may be drafty
But there's always space at the hearth
Pour a glass of wine
'Cause sharing with guests
Under winter skies brings us to life
Pile up the ashes that fall from the sky
Trade them for riches when coffers run dry
Carve out a pound of your tenderest self
The burden of vulnerability paid with your health
Fall in, fall out
Rise to the challenge but never make a stand
The roots run deep
So toe the line and pour the wine
And kick up those weary legs to sleep
Ooh when the shadows surge and the stars emerge
And the milky way envelops me
I am glad you share this vision
Here by my side
I can digest your epithet
But the precedent is set
Try to heed what's decreed
But I'm overpowered
I know the name of this game
But the rules have all changed
And the cast list reflects
How the tables have turned
Too cowardly to take a stand
Relinquishing my upper hand
But I've learned to never tie my worth
To the order of my birth
I am falling out of favour now
And you're masking holier-than-thou
But I still have my self-respect
And though it hurts
I could never accuse you of willful neglect
Though I have wept I must accept
When I have lost and I'm outstepped
When heels keep digging in the ground
I've made a choice to stop my voice
From ringing truths; there is no use
When heads are buried in the sand
Grab a volume from the shelf
The pages are dusty
But edges still hunger for blood
Now revel in our wealth
Remember how lucky we made you
Compared to the rest
Rise to the challenge but never make a stand
The roots run deep
So toe the line and pour the wine
And kick up those weary legs
Though I've sworn that I'll never slip again
The boundaries creep
I've made my bed, and I'll see red
But I cannot ever make that leap
The room may be drafty
But there's always space at the hearth
Pour a glass of wine
'Cause sharing with guests
Under winter skies brings us to life
Pile up the ashes that fall from the sky
Trade them for riches when coffers run dry
Carve out a pound of your tenderest self
The burden of vulnerability paid with your health
Fall in, fall out
Rise to the challenge but never make a stand
The roots run deep
So toe the line and pour the wine
And kick up those weary legs to sleep
Ooh when the shadows surge and the stars emerge
And the milky way envelops me
I am glad you share this vision
Here by my side
I can digest your epithet
But the precedent is set
Try to heed what's decreed
But I'm overpowered
I know the name of this game
But the rules have all changed
And the cast list reflects
How the tables have turned
Too cowardly to take a stand
Relinquishing my upper hand
But I've learned to never tie my worth
To the order of my birth
I am falling out of favour now
And you're masking holier-than-thou
But I still have my self-respect
And though it hurts
I could never accuse you of willful neglect
Though I have wept I must accept
When I have lost and I'm outstepped
When heels keep digging in the ground
I've made a choice to stop my voice
From ringing truths; there is no use
When heads are buried in the sand
Grab a volume from the shelf
The pages are dusty
But edges still hunger for blood
Now revel in our wealth
Remember how lucky we made you
Compared to the rest
Rise to the challenge but never make a stand
The roots run deep
So toe the line and pour the wine
And kick up those weary legs
Though I've sworn that I'll never slip again
The boundaries creep
I've made my bed, and I'll see red
But I cannot ever make that leap
