Rush - Snakes & Arrows

[HowItIs]

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel

[J2112YYZ]

and the next it's rolling over me

[Good,bad,andrush]

I can get back on, I can get back on!

[1 of the 7]

It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit

[Babycat]

It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it

[J2112YYZ]

You can almost feel the current flowing

 

[1 of the 7]

^ nope, this chorus changes to

 

You can almost see the circle growing

 

[J2112YYZ]

You can almost feel the planets glowing

[1 of the 7]

One day I feel I'm on top of the world

[J2112YYZ]

and the next it's falling in on me

[NobodysHeroine]

I can get back on, I can get back home

[HowItIs]

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel

[NobodysHeroine]

and the next, it's rolling over me

[teababe27]

I can get back on, I can get back on

[HowItIs]

One day I fly through a crack in the sky

[J2112YYZ]

[HowItIs]

I can get back on, I can get back on!

ARMOR AND SWORD

 

The snakes and arrows a child is heir to

[NobodysHeroine]

are enough to leave a thousand cuts

[Babycat]

We build our defenses, a place of safety

[HowItIs]

and leave the darker places unexplored

[TullSkull]

Sometimes the fortress is too strong Or the love is too weak

[HowItIs]

What should have been our armor

[NobodysHeroine]

becomes a sharp and angry sword

[HowItIs]

Our better natures seek elevation
