The Measure

So you want to know the difference

Between the broken and the lost

Between the voiceless and the muted

Between the payback and the cost

So you want to know the distance

Between the incomplete and made

Between the drowning and the drifting

Between the drowning and the saved

But oh I don't want to be your insight

Or your door or your key

I don't want to be the measure

Of your heart or your needs

So you want to know the distance

Between the boundless and the chained

And you want to know the difference

Between the taken and the gained

But oh I don't want to be your insight

Or your door or your key

I don't want to be the measure

Of your heart or your needs

Years go by awake at night

Oh

Goodbye

I don't want to be the measure

No I don't want to be the measure

I don't want to be the measure
