Lyrics

Bowline
Tied to the nearest star
Tied to the anchor
Tied from afar

Twisted
Ropes create a hole
Down which the rabbit goes
Down which the rabbit goes

Every child must learn to make the bowline
Teach them how to follow all the rules

Rabbit
Tiny comforting creature
In tiny twists of rope
A billion energies

Are burning
The ends of nylon strings
They hold my body together
And hold me to the Earth

Who knows what could happen if we let go
Predators may lurk among the shadows

It was just what I always wanted
It was just what I always wanted
A way home
A way home

It was just what I always dreamed of
It was just what I always dreamed of
What now?
Where to now?

Who knows what strange dangers might await those
Who untie their souls and come to wake
