The only purpose
I have needed
In this stasis
Is to start breathing
Not yet fully
A human being
From the evidence I'm seeing
Give me something to work with, oh
Give me something to work with, oh
All this sacrifice gets me low
Get me to where I need to go
Shake the bottle
Seal the contents
Hope it won't settle
On the bottom
There's a message
There's an intent
It's a chance
Or at least a fragment
Give me something to work with, oh
Give me something to work with, oh
All this sacrifice gets me low
Get me to where I need to go
I have dropped an anchor
I have drained my blood
And then cruised upon this reservoir
Yet never bled enough
I have contributed
Tears and sweat and love
And I'm nearly living
Oh, I'm on the cusp
Someone tell me
When I'm born
Someday soon I'm going to form
As an idea
As a tale
Someday soon I will exhale
Give me something to work with, oh
Give me something to work with, oh
All this sacrifice gets me low
Get me to where I need to go
I have dropped an anchor
I have drained my blood
And then cruised upon this reservoir
Yet never bled enough
I have contributed
Tears and sweat and love
And I'm nearly living
Oh, I'm on the cusp
And I'm nearly living
Oh, I'm on the cusp
Yeah, I'm nearly living
Oh, I'm on the cusp
