Spokes - Jetty Bones, Dylan Mattheisen

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
