about

The fourth track from July For Kings' fourth studio album Middletown, featuring T Miller on cello. An acoustic-guitar based power ballad about carrying on, letting go.

lyrics

for ten a.m.
i set my clock
crawl into bed
and wait for the day to stop
stop

sleeping alone
again tonight
i search for a trace of you here on this pillow-side
side

the beauty in the world can cut you
for every boy or girl that shut you down
a field the run the rain the bottle
a song was sung i open the throttle and fly

i am a kite
and the strong survive
to sail out on the wind
without a note
i cut the rope
this is not the end

the sun comes through
the window like
the gaze of god
sunny day sky
sky

a key appears
like a lightning night
i search for a trace of you here by this fireside

the beauty in the world can cut you
for every boy or girl that shut you down
a field the run the rain the bottle
a song was sung i open the throttle and fly

i am a kite
and the strong survive
to sail out on the wind
without a note
i cut the rope
this is not the end

it's 2:58 i'm still lying here awake
i can't close my eyes without seeing our fate
i thought i could decide
to shrug and be fine
but our love was licorice not totally sweet
sometimes delicious
then salt like the sea

i am a kite
and the strong survive
to sail out on the wind

i am a kite
and the strong survive
to sail out on the wind
without a note
i cut the rope
this is not the end
this is not the end

i am a kite
and the strong survive
to sail out on the wind
this is not
