lyrics
I was told there's no escape
The wall’s too high
The risk too great
Just make the best of where you are
But now I'm out and on the run
Lost in the woods
Deep underground
A hundred miles of twisted root
There are rumors of a place
Where destiny can be exchanged
For hope and chance to rest
When you arrive at the gate
The key to opening your fate is trust
A luxury I've never had
A doorway filled with blinding light
A silhouette stands undefined
Welcomed in with open arms
The wall’s too high
The risk too great
Just make the best of where you are
But now I'm out and on the run
Lost in the woods
Deep underground
A hundred miles of twisted root
There are rumors of a place
Where destiny can be exchanged
For hope and chance to rest
When you arrive at the gate
The key to opening your fate is trust
A luxury I've never had
A doorway filled with blinding light
A silhouette stands undefined
Welcomed in with open arms

Excited for this. Pkids are one of the most consistently exceptional bands I've experienced in the last 30 years. Exceptional humans on top of that, exemplars of the DIY ethos and true indie spirit. Long Live Poster Children!
