[Verse 1 — industrial percussion] I laid the steel across the gorge Held every bolt beneath the storms A million crossings without fear You find one crack and bring it here [Pre-Chorus — descending bass] My feet have never touched the shore That I keep carrying you toward [Chorus — heavy syncopated rock] Cross over me, cross over me Get everywhere I'll never be I bear the weight, you count the rust And call my best not quite enough I'd drop the cables, let them fly And watch the valley open wide But other lives are crossing mine Who'd pay the price to set me free? (Set me free, set me free) [Verse 2 — distorted fretless bass] You say the crossing takes too long I add another lane and carry on [Bridge — suspended harmony] I'm not the road, I'm not the stone I'm someone who deserves a home [Outro — pulsing strings] The traffic fades, the silence stays I dream of walking my own way
