Jetty Bones – Spokes lyrics

Not again
Not again

Listen close, listen in
The wind is trying to talk to you
To warn you that the warmth will be leaving
While you're soundly sleeping it off
You can try to speak
You can try to move forward
But your hands won't work on the rocks
They'll slip
Your grip has become toxic to progress

And there's no time to climb
If you don't let it go
Coming around the mountain like an echo
Spikes in, spokes up
Grab your rope
Spikes in, spokes up

It's a test
It's a risk
You're always racing the clock
You're never comfortable unless you're reaching the top
I know you need this
I know you need this
Don't let your bloodstream thin and let the storm win
There's a trick in your head to help continue the fight
Don't let your thoughts run dry
You've got to stay alive
I know you need this
A goal you can't miss
What's the point of dedication without the risk?

And there's still time to climb
If you don't let it go
Coming around the mountain like an echo
Spikes in, spokes up
Grab your rope
Spikes in, spokes up
Just one foot at a time until the ice melts
Push past the feelings that you felt
Daisy chain the crux on the comedown
Spikes in, spokes up
Spikes in, spokes up

Whether or not you can weather the storm
When the wind winds in
I will keep you warm
Don't you dare dwell on that drop
The distance is too far now
To fall face first into the ground
So keep your hopes high and your chin up
So keep your fists up for the fight
When the weather is winning in the dead of the night
It's like a death wish spinning in your hindsight
There's still time
There's still time
I know you're ready for it
There's still time
There's still time
I know you're ready for it
There's still time
There's still time
I know you're ready for it
