The Cusp

from Save Your Breath by Rowan Lewis

/

lyrics

The only purpose
I have needed
in this stasis
Is to start breathing

Not yet fully
A human being
From the evidence I’m seeing

Give me something to work with, oh
Give me something to work with, oh
All this sacrifice gets me low
Get me to where I need to go.

Shake the bottle
Seal the contents
Hope it won’t settle
On the bottom

There’s a message
There’s an intent
It’s a chance
Or at least a fragment

Give me something to work with, oh
Give me something to work with, oh
All this sacrifice gets me low
Get me to where I need to go.

I have dropped an anchor
I have drained my blood
and then cruised upon this reservoir
yet never bled enough
I have contributed
tears and sweat and love
And I’m nearly living
Oh, I’m on the cusp

Someone tell me
When I’m born
Someday soon I’m going to form

As an idea
As a tale
Someday soon I will exhale.

Give me something to work with, oh
Give me something to work with, oh
All this sacrifice gets me low
Get me to where I need to go.

I have dropped an anchor
I have drained my blood
and then cruised upon this reservoir
yet never bled enough
I have contributed
tears and sweat and love
And I’m nearly living
Oh, I’m on the cusp

And I’m nearly living
Oh, I’m on the cusp

Yeah, I’m nearly living
Oh, I’m on the cusp.
