about

Rowing in circles an imaginary boat. What does "free" mean, anyway?

lyrics

View From The Bridge

I do what I can to keep my head above water
I do what I can to stay afloat
I do what I can with these imaginary oars
Rowing in circles an imaginary boat

High in the canopy
Nowhere to go or be
Nothing to say or see
I can’t tell if this is free

When the river rises and the clouds fall around
I close up my windows, let my curtains down
If I can’t see the devil and I can’t hear the wind
I can push away the shadows I can hold my ground

(chorus)

(bridge):
The view from the bridge, Ophelia’s lucid dream
It’s not what you think, it’s not what it seems
I want to write my way out but my inkwell’s running dry
I could scream and shout but I don’t even try

I wrote this story on a sinking ship
Composed it on the head of a pin
Tied it to an arrow I found piercing the deck
Shot it from my bow on the imaginary wind

(chorus)
