Knight of Wands

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I’ve got the armor on beneath this yellow shirt
With salamanders chasing tails across my chest
I left my keys beside the carton of oat milk
I never had the proper temperament to rest
My horse is rearing up, his hooves are in the air
I haven’t packed a bag, I haven’t made a plan
I've got the wind blowing the sleep out of my hair
I’ve got the momentum of a desperately free man!

[Chorus]
Keep the pyramids behind me in the glass!
I’m burning up the hours, tearing up the path
It isn’t running off, it’s just the thrill of speed
This heavy wooden wand is all I really need
I’m leaving in the middle of your sentence—
(He's leaving in the middle of the word!)
Don’t ask me for a forwarding address
I’m trading in the tether for the gorgeous recklessness!

[Verse 2]
I saw a pattern in the static on the screen
A sudden flashing pulse that told me I should run
The engine's running hot, the dashboard lights are green
I'm always staring straight into the morning sun
The hooves are off the ground, the reins are pulled in tight
I know the map is probably sitting on my bed
I’ll figure out a place to sleep tomorrow night
I'm moving forward with the fire in my head!

[Chorus]
So keep the pyramids behind me in the glass!
I’m burning up the hours, tearing up the path
It isn’t running off, it’s just the thrill of speed
This heavy wooden wand is all I really need
I’m leaving in the middle of your sentence—
(He's leaving in the middle of the word!)
Don’t ask me for a forwarding address
I’m trading in the tether for the gorgeous recklessness!

[Bridge]
Yes, I’m a flash of heat across the open plain
I know I’ll probably burn the bridge and lose the trail
But nothing ever happens if you stay the same
I'd rather be the guy who leaves than watch it fail
And if I never finish what I—

[Outro]
Keep the pyramids behind me!
(He's gone, he's gone!)
A heavy wooden wand!
(He's gone, he's gone!)
I'm leaving in the middle of your—
I really hope I didn't leave the oven on.
